Remove t hi s *** resistor for NonĀ Electric Condenser aka dynamic, crystal , etc (not requiring power) or if the mic has it's own battery . (option: add a switch in series with resistor for use as needed). Included are 1k & 2.2k resistors to match Mic impedance. (Mi c included is 2.2k impedance, so use 2.2k resi stor), check y our condenser impedance and use proper resi stor, if in doubt use 2.2k resistor(s).
