Continuous power and external mic simultaneously?

SThornley

Hello Bandit Users

Pre-purchase question. Is it possible to attach an external microphone and continually power the Bandit at the same time?

Anyone's help appreciated.

Hi Steve,

Welcome to the Community!

You can not connect the external microphone and power source at the same time since there is only one Batt-Stick connector to insert the cable. See here: Charging your Bandit

Hope it helps!

Yes, you can. The contacts are all there on the Bat stick but you will have to make you own cable connection by "cannibalizing" a power or microphone cord (accessories).
Unfortunately I have not saved the schematics and since the Bandit seems to be a "dead" product (according to what my photo dealer contacts tells me) I will not take the time again to find out.
