They call it a preamp, but it is really a power supply with a few dB
of gain. It puts out mic level. A real preamp would put out line
level.

It would be powered by the phantom power in your recorder. It sends
PIP to the mics. Unneccessary to have a separate battery preamp when
you have an excellent preamp with phantom in the recorder.

It would require precisely the Shure "preamp" or something like it.
Shure also makes a barrel "preamp" for the 183 that doesn't have the
battery option. I have both versions, and also a couple of Samson
phantom-to-lavalier supplies that also work, tho they need an adaptor
for Shure's mic plug.
