Since you mentioned the Yamaha CM500 - I can tell you that it will not take
the 10 volts - wont hurt it but it does not like it - (mine won't work with
the Orion - possibly because you simply cannot reduce the gain enough - but
whatever) .I just kept adding more resistance from the ten volts to the mic
element until it sounded OK. BUT its still way too much output - mic gain
has to be set very low - one of these days I am going to mke a voltage
divider up inside the connector shell .
The little battery voltage inserter that comes with the CM500 applies the
voltage from two AAA cells in series (abt 3 volts) through 2200 ohms in
series. So it would appear Yamaha would like to have a 3 volt supply to
that mic. The Orion works OK with that - I just have not gotten around to
re-doing my mike 8 pin to 1/8 inch adapter . SSB not very high on my
priority list right now.
