3. PZM-10 only: Obtain some 2-conductor
shielded mic cable, long enough to run from
your equipment input to the microphone. If
space is tight behind the mounting surface,
obtain a right-angle female XLR connector.
Solder the female XLR connector onto the
cable: shield to pin 1, hot lead to pin 2, other
lead to pin 3.
PZM-10LL only: Obtain enough mic cable
to run from your equipment input to the mi-
crophone. You can use either a 2-conductor
shielded mic cable with a separate DC power
lead, or a 3-conductor shielded mic cable
(with one of the leads used for power).
4. Run the female XLR (if used) and mic cable
to the hole.
