In connection with my attempt to build a leak detection device for a private water company, I have mounted a microphone on a 7' pole. The idea is to lower the mic into a valve pit and contact the water cut off valve. The water system tech is able to search for and isolate leaks by opening and closing valves and judging the sound. The mic I have donated has a belt/battery pack with xlr out.
Would appreciate suggestions for a small, inexpensive, battery powered mic-to- earphone amplifier. We are presently successfully testing with a Zoom H4 recorder, but seeking something smaller and less expensive. Phantom not required. Do any MP3 players include mic pres?
Thank you, Ed
