Do you
have a microphone and want to record using your recorder's
line input?
Be it
Giant Squid Mono or Stereo or the mics sold by
the other guys this Stereo
and Mono Microphone 9 Volt Battery Power Supply
will do the job.
This
Mic Power Supply lets you to use the
LINE IN input on your recorder instead of MIC IN because it powers the
mic elements with 9 volts.
Why plug
mics in the line input? Most mic inputs
on portable recorders have noisy pre amps which in some cases add
distortion.
Use this in the line jack and you will get
less disortion.
A mic
and
battery box plugged into line is recommended by experienced loud
music tapers for clarity in high SPL enviroments.
You also
can gain more dynamic range depending on what
type of mic you use.
Our
battery boxes are made of some of the highest quality materials
available.
Battery Box
The circuitry is enclosed in a durable die cast aluminum box with black
finish. Measurements are 3.63 X 1.52 X
1.07 inches.
Cables enter the unit through a nickel plated brass cord
grip with a Neoprene Sealing
Sleeve and a Perbunan Seal O-ring. This crucial component
prevents any damage to or separation of the cables from the microphone
battery box and circuitry inside as a
result of the cables being jerked or mishandled.
It also helps the cables from becoming kinked.
Strong, protective cord grip
prevents damage to the circuitry and harmful kinking of cable at
entry point
A fixed bass roll off can be added for $2. Read our FAQ
or Email me for
details.
Cable
We
use one of the highest quality cable designs available; Gepco X-Band
Oxygen free copper audio cable.
The
X-Band is an ultra-flexable, sonically transparent, low-noise, and
durable. Mostly used
in critical studio facilities and at live music venues.
Each
oxygen free conductor is insulated with a unique low k constraint, foam
polypropylene dielectric that lowers the capacitance and extends the
bandwidth of the cable. Low noise and cross-talk is acheived
through exacting pair twisting, 95% braid shielding, and individual
pair jackets.
Gepco X-Band
Oxygen free copper audio cable
It was designed for professional stage and studio
applications, has greater abrasion and
impact resistance, extra limpness, and at the same time light weight.
A larger gage of this type and manufacturer of cable is used in the
professional music industry.
Gold Plated Stereo
Mini Plug
Gold Plated Stereo Mini Plug for a great
connection
This mic
has a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm)Gold
Plated Stereo Mini Plug with spring bend protection.
A high quality connection and small enough to be unobstructive.
External Microphone Jack
We use an external female 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) mini stereo
microphone jacks instead of internal, surface mount.
The external inline design keeps the microphone plug in
place without
worries of becoming disconnected during a crucial recording moment.
These external female jacks are the best quality that we
have found to date.
Quality 9 volt battery connector
This
is not your normal flimsy type of 9 Volt battery connector, rather, it
is a rigid type that will not split or become malformed over multiple
uses like the commonly available variety can do.
Long lasting 9 Volt
battery connectors will keep you connected
Please note: Leaving a
microphone connected to the power unit for long periods of time will
eventually cause the battery to drain. If disconnected from the
battery box after
every use the 9 Volt will last 400 to 600 hours or until it dies out
from age. It is recommended to disconnect the microphone after a
recording event.
Optional Neutrik
NTP3RC-B right Angle Gold Plated Plug
Neutrik
NTP3RC-B professional right angle plugs
keep a low profile and work with recorders with recessed input jacks.
These are the best right angled gold plated plugs available anywhere,
in my opinon.

the unit from accidenly being turned on or off. Well
made and durable..
