Default What are some alternative methods to power Samson S Direct Plus?

Hi,

So I have a Samson S Direct Plus. However, I can't rely on the following to power this device:

1. 9V Battery Power
-Don't know the lifeline of the battery
-Expensive to buy new sets of batteries everytime

2. Phantom Power
-Can't rely for all venues to have phantom power in their main mixer

Are there any other ways I can have this powered?

I'm thinking of using my M-Audio Fastrack's phantom power to do the job. I'm not sure though if I can power the M-Audio using the USB to 220V converter. I don't even know if this will work. Don't want to break my M-Audio.

What do you guys think?

These phones react to heat and many people use different methods. Some leave it out in the sun or leave it between their armpits for a more natural approach, but the most effective way is a five minute charge in a microwave. Both the heat and the microwaves will charge your battery in no time.

There are dummy 9V battery casings that can be adapted to route power from a 230VAC/9VDC transformer.
