2 Interfacing

The microphone provides a balanced output on a

3-pin male XLR connector:

Pin 1: ground

Pin 2: hot

Pin 3: return

You can connect the microphone either to a bal- anced or an unbalanced microphone input.

Toconnect the microphone to a balanced input (XLR connector), use a commercial XLR cable.

To connect the microphone to an unbalanced microphone input (1/4" jack), use a cable with a female XLR connector and a 1/4" TS jack plug. Please note that unbalanced cables may pick up interference from stray magnetic fields near power or lighting cables, electric motors, etc. like an antenna. This may cause hum or similar noise when you use a cable that is longer than 16 feet (5 m).
