Wire it as Hot to tip and return and ground to the sleave.
I use the same mic. I find it a little boomy so I cut 50hz to minimum 100hz to minimum 200 HZ to -6 400 to -3, 800 at 0 and the rest to +4 except the 3200 hz at -2 Bias off, and High gain

Hope this is what you needed

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?
