Ok, I read through all the threads dealing with begginers rigs. Still, I'm not sure whether I understand correctly.
I plan to purchase a JB3, which seems to be a good solution. Later on, when I get some money
I'll buy the rest. What I'm gonna do is stealthing at very small venues, both acoustic and loud rock, both indoor and outdoor.
My question is what exactly I need.
I think these are the possibilities, right?
mic > mic-in JB3 .. poor results
mic > batt box > line-in JB3 .. this is better
mic > ? > phantom power box (e.g. DEN PS-2) > ? > line-in JB3 .. best (provided I don't want to use external A/D)
a) From what I read here, there's some issues with phantom power connectors so I'll have to use some transformer, adaptor or something. XLR, mini, jack... I didn't understood at all and I'd appreciate step by step scheme for wiring phantom power (for example DEN PS-2).
b) Last but not least, how about the mics compatibility with phantom/batt box?? Are there some mics compatible with both (9V/48V)? Let's stick with the SP-ATs to keep things simple.
Edit: SP mics can be used with plug-in power or 9V batt box OR you can have them moded for use with phantom power (they will be no longer usable with plug-in or batt box)... Am I right?
c) What's the difference between DEN-PS2 and SAM-S-2 phantom power supplies?? (size?)
Thanks a lot for your thoughts/explanations.
