i have a small portable amp ( 1 watt ) use for various things,, it works great on dynamic mic.s
but it will not work a electric mic, someone told me they need power to make them work,, but these electric mic.s only have 2 leads,,
i need a schematic of sorts to make a small adapter that i can plug inbetween the amp and electric mic..anyone got a idea? i was told also that the adapter could power most any mic too dynamic mics too.. thanx for feedback..no pun !

Re: "Phantom power 4 mic. "
It sounds like you are using what is known as an 'electret'microphone capsule.If so,there is a JFET in there that needs to be biased.You can do this by applying 1.5 to 5 volts dc to the high side lead,the other lead being (-) or ground.You should also put a series resistor in for current limiting say around 2.2K or higher.The other thing you need to do is ac couple the output with a capacitor of about .22uF or higher,depending on your low frequency response needs.

Hello Dacflyer.<p>The electret condenser microphones take a little power via the same lead the audio exits. Isolating the audio and power is done with a capacitor and a resistor.
