I'm currently running a stealth taping setup of SP-CMC-4 > SP-SPSB-6 battery box > Edirol R-1, and I'm considering upgrading to a combination of phantom power and a Church Audio ST-9100 preamp. I've looked at sending my mics back to Sound Professionals to get them modified, but after searching on here, I've read that the phantom power adaptors they use (Samson PM4s?) are quite bulky for stealth situations. Are there any smaller alternatives?
Also, I'm a little confused about what I would need for a phantom power rig. Would the following setup work?
SP-CMC-4 (phantom mod) > Phantom power adaptor > CA ST-9100 > R-1
Or would I need something extra to power the mics on top of that?
Thanks in advance for any help!
