Hi Michael!
I wire mine up myself. Most of my designs are made of Panasonics, Primos an=
d
Transsounds, depending on what I=B4m recording. I use strong 2,5mm Mogami-c=
able,
wich is almost foldable, taking no place at all.
The kevlar in the cable make it hard to solder, but once soldered, I can co=
unt
on that cable forever. Whenever I don=B4t have my Sony, I use them with a
batterybox, to feed the electrets.
I don=B4t know the specs of the mic-in on the Edirol, but the Sony matches =
these
capsules very well, in my subjective opinion.
Best
