For a special project, recording cockpit audio (mostly voice) in a driving simulator, I have looked, but unable to find reasonable priced electret mic preamps. Unbalanced, they need the 1.5v "bias" power, not phantom power. I don't want in-line batteries. They need 1/8" mini jacks. Ideally, they would be with a 4-channel mixer. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to add some electronics to the capsule that will allow it to work off of phantom power. I did article in Recording magazine in Sept 2001 with three or four different designs that will work. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."
