to dump the battery box that brings power to the electrets element (2xAA's)
and make use of the +10vdc at the mike connector.
VERY simple. Make an adapter with a jack that mates with the 1/8-in plug
and wire it to a plug that fits the Orion. Add a 5.6K resistor from
+10V to the mic pin. Virtually no current, so you can use a very low
wattage resistor and fit it inside the mic connector.
No PAD should be needed. The mic is fairly high output, but I've never
seen a rig that couldn't be turned down enough. Also, it's best not to
crowd the mic to prevent popping and bass boost. I place the mic
alongside my face between eye level and nose level.
