There should be a model number somewhere on the mic; that would help. Most of the RS condenser mics use a 1-1/2V AA battery (which is usually the bare minimum required). A 6 or 12V round battery (like their cigarette lighter battery) would be better.Ive recently acquired the mic mentioned in the title, and none of the batteries i try seem to fit....
what would you recommend?
remghoost,
Radio Shack sells the N cells in a two pack for about ten bucks. A trick for older condensers that could use more voltage than a AA like Harvey suggested is to stack two N cells. Two N cells fit tightly into a AA compartment and deliver more voltage.
More to the point, the Rat Shack N cells are rechargeable NiMH. Buy a charger.
