I'm hoping someone can help me with this:
I picked up a couple of cheap, old battery-powered stereo mics (that actually don't sound half-bad) off eBay that I'm fooling around with, and would like to try running them through my warm-mod UA5. Each one of these mics runs on either a AA or C battery, and each one has dual 1/4" phono-type plugs for right/left (see picture for an example)
I realize the 1/4" inputs on my UA5 are disabled due to the w-mod...can I just buy some 1/4" female-to-XLR male adapters? Or do I need a transformer of some sort? I'm not even sure if a mic such as this is hi-z or lo-z. Can this even be done? If so, will I be able to use the gain knobs on the UA5?
P.S. I'm hoping to use the front panel inputs on the UA5 and not anything on the back, such as the RCA's...my UA5 is setup nicely in a Rakgear pack, velcroed to the rack, and I'm trying to prevent having to take the UA5 out of it's current, semi-permanent position.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
