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.)
