Yep, for my second pair I bought the BP versions, thinking I'd have
more flexibility and be able to use them with pro gear. A huge
disappointment, the BP preamps add noise and lower the output! But
they're the same mics if you don't use the BP box.
I'm thinking of gutting the boxes and designing some simple
transformerless phantom-to-PIP powering circuit for use with pro
inputs. The 3K impedance of the raw mics may be a problem, but the
only way is to try it and see.
