It was not a easy mic to find out about when I started. It is a 
excellent mic once you get it running.

There was a power supply that Sennheiser sold that was just a short 
metal tube to hold a stack of mercury batteries. With that connector 
(male and female) on the ends of it.  I think it was made for the 
mkh-104 and so on but could be adapted. I saw some auctioned on ebay 
recently, but did not get them as it would be expensive to buy that many 
batteries all the time.

I'd think you could make it a small, inline box. That's what I do with 
my hydrophone for it's power. Biggest component is the battery. Note I 
use a special rechargeable NIMH 9 volt battery. Most such are 7.2 volts, 
but this one matches alkaline voltages. At full charge it's 10 volts. 
It's a exact replacement for alkalines.
