3 Interfacing

3.1 General

The microphone uses a true condenser trans-

ducer designed for 48-volt phantom powering to

DIN 45 596/IEC 268-15. Neither the diaphragm nor

the backplate are permanently polarized, so the

microphone needs an external power supply.

3.2 Pinout

The microphone provides a balanced output on a 3-

pin male XLR connector:

Pin 1: ground

Pin 2: hot

Pin 3: cold

3.3 Connecting the Microphone

Refer to fig. 3 below.

1. Use an XLR cable to connect the microphone to

a balanced XLR input with phantom power.

2. Switch the phantom power on. (Refer to the user

manual of the unit to which you connected your

microphone.)
