Ok, my little brain needs some help... I've got a Realistic pzm which I'm thinking of inserting into a box, Cutting-style. I know there are other threads about pzms but what I reeeally want to know is how the mic is powered after the snip.
Am I right in thinking that by just leaving the mic with a few inches and soldering on a jack socket, you cut out the battery box entirely? If this is the case then does one run a lead to a phantom power supply and that's that? Or are the batteries essential? I've seen Howard Jones' post about putting a jack onto the lead with the battery box, but it's not really for me...
Maybe this is a repeat of something, but the other threads started to get quite confusing! I'm really just looking for a sequence eg. mic --> jack socket --> jack to xlr ---> phantom supply and PA (or whatever's right...)
Hope someone with a bigger tech brain can help.
Saul :)
