[QUOTE="Nick Vezmar, post: 9906, member: 4110"] Hey everyone, So I had a question about a wireless microphone system. I purchased the Sennheiser FreePort ([URL="http://av.loyola.com/products/audio/pdf/freeport-manual.pdf"]manual[/URL]) about 4 years ago for my bass guitar, and I had a Samson Airwave 77 as well for wind instruments. A couple months ago I had an issue with my Airwave system, as there was a constant low hum. I tried fixing it but to no avail; I even tried different connections and using hum eliminators and different DI Boxes and that didn't help much either. I decided looking for alternatives but have found nothing that is really within my price range. I was perusing around forums and found out that there may be a workaround where I could plug in a clip-on condenser into my FreePort, which has a 3.5mm jack. The one recommended was the E908B-EW ([URL="http://en-us.sennheiser.com/downloads/download/file/3996/e908_Instructionsforuse.pdf"]manual[/URL]), which is a clip-on condenser designed for Sennheiser's Evolution series, which has a 3.5mm output. It says nothing in the description about the particular microphone requiring phantom power, just a Sennheiser bodypack is required. I want to hear from some of you though, to see if you think that plugging into this particular microphone into the FreePort body pack would actually work.
