Hi Roger, So can I use your schematic but with the battery in the cable? I was going to use a 2 conductor plus shield cable from each mic, into a battery box, then a 2 conductor plus shield from the battery box to the mini jack. Do I need 2 separate cables going from the battery box to the mini jack? The thing that confused me is the Rane Cable diagram.

On page 6, example #5. It shows a 2conductor plus shield cable for each mic (even though the 1 and 3 pins are joined at the mic connector). Then the shield doesn't connect at the the recorder end. (?)
Also, I bought the M20 tap. Its supposed to come in 2 wks.
