I'm hoping to get my mic wired for the contest tomorrow. I have an XLR mic (AKG D5) which has:
Pin 1: ground Pin 2: hot Pin 3: return Just got back from RadioShack after waiting in line 15 minutes while the iPod and cell phone repairs were handled, just to get a 1/8 mono plug. I've got some CAT5E cable to use, and I also have a standard XLR cable. Does "hot" go to the center and ground & return go to the outside conductor? I know that I'll have to select the rear panel mic option in the menu. Are there other settings, i.e. bias voltage, that have to be set? 73 Benson / NE4W ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
