Hi!
The easiest I can think of:
Just buy a stereo mini-jack with dual-mono out cable (two cables with each =
its signal). Considering the jack is already on there, you=B4ll only be co=
ncerned with the other ends. You=B4ll have two wires, with two wires runnin=
g inside; ground/cold and hot/signal; White/Bare, Red/Bare. The ground/cold=
/bare is common, and is split between the two.
Each of the capsules has a "hot" output, and a cold/ground. The red and whi=
te goes on the hot on each of the capsules, respectivley. As shown in the p=
rovided schematic from frogloggers.
So all you have to think of is that each capsule gets a bare/ground and eit=
her the red or white, and that they are soldered on the right place as desc=
ribed on the datasheet, the rest is done in the already soldered jack.
A rather pragmatic and simplified solution, but should get you where you wa=
nt. I must say though, you haven=B4t started with the easiest capsule to so=
lder. If you bought with the small wires sticking out, you have done youres=
elf a favour. If not, you=B4ll get there with a bit of patience.
The capsules need plug-in power which should be provided by your recorder.
Good luck!
