Also, if you decide to go three-wire, send your mics back to Soundprofessionals and get the "phantom power mod". I think it is like $79 for him to put miniXLR connectors on each mic, make a dual-miniXLR to mini-3.5mm plug, and supply two Samson phantom adapters. That is a killer price considering the parts and labor. Then get Chris to make you a 3-wire battery box, or batt box+pre, and you'll be all set.

I have Sound Professionals AT831 version phatom modded, 2 samson adapters. Theres a dual minixlr>mini plug to go into battery box (i dont know what the specifics are).
Bought package from "Chanher"
I have went at831>that little plug>batt box rolloff at 95 KHZ>jb3
havent tried the samson adapters yet. what do i need to run that set up. just regular XLR cables to pre-amp.
Got free samson mixpad 4 off of "larrysellers" so can i use that??
Excellent setup. You can use the Samson adapters with any XLR input, but it must have phantom power. I'm not sure if the mixpad has enough juice (it is less than full spec 48V). Try it and see how it sounds. It would certainly work on a UA5 or something like that though. The nice thing about phantom adapters is you just plug them in and they sound great. No worries about battery boxes, cheap 3.5mm connectors, etc.
If you get a 3-wire battery box that will work too. Ask Chris Church to build you a preamp+3-wire battery box. That would sound great into your NJB3.
