Super Battery Module

This battery module is recommended when you need to use our small microphones in high SPL situations. The Super Battery module is built into a series 1000 black Otter Box which is made with a fiberglass reinforced ABS resin that is virtually indestructible.

The standard version (with no options selected) will power your microphones with 9 volts of bias power (sometimes called "plug in power"). Most small Electret Condenser microphones will enjoy improved high SPL performance with this higher power, since most portable recorders only provide about 3 volts plug in power at the mic input.

Read this FAQ which explains why you may need a battery module or a mic preamp for your situation.

Bass Roll-off option:
You can select an optional selectable bass roll off (bass reduction) filter which provides seven different bass roll-off frequencies to choose from, with independent switches for each channel. The bass roll off is used when the material to be recorded has excessive bass content and allows the user to adjust the bass response of the mic system accordingly. The selectable frequencies are 16Hz (no bass roll off), 69Hz, 95Hz, 107Hz, 160Hz, 195Hz and 888Hz.

Level control option:
You can add an optional output level control which is built into this module and is mounted so that you control the output level of the module from the inside of the box. No part of the control extends out of the box, so the module can be placed in a pocket or bag without the chance of the control changing position inadvertently. The control is accessed by lifting the hinged lid.

This option is most useful with MiniDisc recorders that don't allow adjustment of recording levels while recording (most SONY MD recorders) and with recorders that don't have microphone sensitivity settings (some of the SONY MD recorders).

This optional feature adjusts the output of the microphone signal passing through the module, before going to the recorder. The user simply sets the record level ONCE on the recorder at (or near) full gain and adjusts the recording levels with the output level control at any time during the recording. The actual recording level is still read on the recorder's level meter. NOTE: This option is intended for use with line inputs only.

The dual slider level control has two level controls - one slider control for each channel. This is handy when you want to be able to adjust each stereo channel independently.
