I have a D-104 on it's way, it's not in my hands yet. I want to get ahold of the parts I need before it arrives.

My rig supplies 12V at the mic jack, I would like to feed power to the mic with it to eliminate the 9V battery.

I do not know how much current the pre-amp requires (anyone know?), so I need to know what is the best route to go to drop it down to 9V.

Should I use a resistor (what value?) or a zener diode (how many at 1W)?

Do I even need to drop it to 9V? Can I just feed it with the 12V?

Thanks, I am hoping someone has already done this and worked it out!
