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?
