Here's the simplest wiring for two 183's->NH900:

But I'm not sure I'd go with 183's if you'd like a lower noise rig
and had $1K. We now know the Rolls PB224 or Art Phantom II phantom
supply modules can enable the use of many condenser mics previously
thought "out of bounds" for consumer MD/HiMD/DAT internal mic preamps
(like your NH-900). Might mean a slightly larger mic rig than the
183's but much less noise,.. The Studio Projects C-4 mics look
pretty interesting for example,.. Rob D.
