Rick, I just bought a mic from Bernie at MAO but I need some help. This mic an Electrovoice BK-1 has the three pin connector. I need to get a cable for it that ends in 1/4 plug. My local music store has a Peavey cable that fits but he THINKS it's a high-impedance cable (the mic is low-imp) and isn't sure if the cable will work. Does a low-imp mic need a high-imp cable or viceversa? Does it matter? I can't test it because of problem two. Problem 2- I bought the mic because it works from an internal battery (I don't have phantom power). Unfortunately, the battery is a 4.5 volt and is AA size. Standard AA batteries are 1.5 volt). It needs an Eveready 523 or Mallory PX21. I can't find any music, electronic, or camera store that has heard of this battery. Any ideas where to find one? Thanks, George
