Also, do not put anything inside barrel connectors people. In fact don't ever use them for anything. They are a worse idea than they look. It's only a matter of time before someone inserts them in an input slot and it sticks out really nice. Cue busy recording situation and some excited band member snaps the whole input slot right off, with the barrel still attached!

Rochey said:I was under the impression the caps were blocking 48V.
These caps see a very small voltage, probably less than a few dozen millivolts. In fact only one is needed, unless one is anal about reverse voltage. With a standard floating mic element, only one of half the value is needed, and the lowest existing working voltage rating (1.8V) is amply sufficient. I believe PRR put two of them and spec'd them at 50V for protection in case of one of the transistors shorting. There are alternatives, if space is at a premium, like doing completely without the input caps and using clamping diodes at the input for protection.Rochey said:The caps are a cOncern. 50v 100uF tants are nuts.
