I am seeing that getting 48 volts is a nice option, but nothing all that hard to do. There are so many options out there now where a couple of AA or a 9 volt batteries are enough to create the needed phantom power for several hours. Look at the popular line of Zoom recorders as evidence of that.
Today I hope to find the time to make my custom cabling for the V-Accordion and possibly test out a setup that might let me use the internal preamp with this wireless kit. If it doesnt work, Ill just stay the way I am now or go the way of the affordable wireless lavalier way and be done with it.

Even at that, the $1000-$1200 is not a big investment for a working musician that does paid gigs and playing situations where if things dont work, you dont get calling in the following week. If I was working, I could justify spending 3 times that amount to get the performance/reliability I needed.
For me now, I can get away with using anything as I am not using these in anything even close to a professional environment. At most, if I can make home videos and not trip over cables, I am a happy man. Its more about learning and fooling around, thats pretty much the definition of a hobby for me. As long as its fun, I keep going. When it stops being fun, I stop doing it. My time on this earth is not all that much longer... no need to waste it doing stuff I dont like... right?
Yes. I made my own custom cabling that does just that. I mean it takes a stereo input and splits it out in to two mono connectors for the 8Xs 2 mono channels (left and right) and sends that to the receiver, where it gets split from a 1/4 TRS to two 1/4 TS connectors to input in to my home Mackie mixer or to the Zoom F4 when I am outside of my home.jozz post_id=56911 time=1523134540 user_id=2600 said:
One of the easiest things to do with these things, but I personally would not like the look of that setup.jozz post_id=56911 time=1523134540 user_id=2600 said:

But of course... go for it, and enjoy it... and dont forget to let us know how it works for you!jozz post_id=59046 time=1525945372 user_id=2600 said:JerryPH post_id=59044 time=1525940516 user_id=1475 said:but I personally would not like the look of that setup.
I dont know but it might be fun to re-purpose some drum microphone kit

That is one of my biggest pleasures, playing around, finding and learning new little things like this. I think that a general attitude of anything goes is a great way to start. Of course there are obvious advantages to every different style of system out there. At this point in life, I made the decision to not invest in internal microphones on my acoustic accordion (though I still have that project in mind of making my own internal set one day), instead opting for a pair of external multi-pattern mics (didnt *really* need a multi-pattern mic, but it goes back to that fun thing and experimentation) with a nice external recorder. Im not an active public performer, so I can get away with pretty much anything I want to do in my basement. If I was still performing, Id never go near external mics, and then miss out on all those advantages that externals offer.
BTW, that E904 has a couple of traits that are not really optimized for capturing the best accordion sound possible. First, though they say it is a Cardioid, the pattern is tighter than traditional, so one may need at least 2 of these mics on the right hand to equally capture the sound in an even level from top to bottom.
Second, they are a dynamic mic and they are designed for high volume percussion instruments. Each of those two traits individually means that they output a lower volume and lower electrical signal. Placed together, this means that whatever pre-amp they go in to will have to be cranked up quite a bit higher to get a useable signal and that usually introduces more noise in to the channel unless you are using a really good quality preamp with a lot of clean gain available.
Again, for playing around, wont make the smallest difference, so if you do this, take a few pictures, make a few recordings and share... Id love to see and hear the results.
As if. A mic signal is one-dimensional. Expensive studio mics are expensive because of their SNR ratio and their polar frequency response, namely the way they map a complex acoustic situation into a one-dimensional signal. If you simulate instrument, room, and mic, you can simulate the effects of a mic on more than a point sound source in unlimited space. But the take any mic idea already locks you onto a one-dimensional view of complex acoustics with a given SNR ratio. Its like unbaking lemon meringue pie and making an apple tart from the recovered ingredients by, among others, taking out everything lemon and adding apple instead.Keymn post_id=59095 time=1526039398 user_id=2502 said:

For close positioning like with a headset, I dont think there is such a thing as more direct for super cardioid. You are direct anyway.Keymn post_id=59098 time=1526046146 user_id=2502 said:
