I've put a lot of thought into my next gear upgrade and have more or less settled on the AKG blue line caps (most likely ck91s).
Due to the type of recordings I make, the only way I can run these mics really is if I separate the caps from the SE 300 B "body". I realize that I could wire up my own so-called "active" cables, but I don't want to go that route because then I would have to hard wire the cable to the caps, and I want to be able to swap the caps out when needed.
My question is this. I have two Audio Technica 8531 power modules laying around collecting dust. If I took two of the MK90/3-H98 cables (pictured below), chopped off the "bayonet" connector at one end, and soldered on female mini-XLR connectors in place of them, could I create a set-up that would avoid using the SE 300 B altogether? I know for sure that the FET on the ck9x series is located in the capsule, so there are no electronics in the cable to worry about. The problem is the wiring scheme: is it safe to assume that there are three wires (should be red, yellow, and shield) running through the AKG cable?
Thanks for reading my rambling, and for any replies to this strange question...
