would like to conect me66 to wireless pack via mini jack. a. how would i wire it? b. presumably would have to use battery since there's no phantom from e100? leslie |
The ME66/K6 combo we have takes a battery and has high output
for a microphone. The bad news is that your wireless transmitter is probably looking for line level input, NOT mic level. However, as I said, your mic has very high output, so you'll can try to make a cable. Female XLR to 1/8" (mono? It depends on how the transmitter is wired) XLR has three pins (1-2-3). Pin 2 is the 'hot' and needs to be wired to the 'tip' of the 1/8" male. 3 is the 'common' and needs to go to either the 'ring' Pin 1 is the ground (if stereo 1/8"). Or if the transmitter wants mono, take pin 3 and 1 (wires) and solder both of those to the ground. This may work, or it may not. Like I said, that transmitter wants -10db line level and your mic is outputting something like -50db to -30db. I think that Sennheiser makes a transmitter that plugs into a mic, so you may need to buy that. |
will try your wiring....
don't really want to spend on a seperate transmitter for the 66 mike as the setup is really for just one shot in a doco. just to recap. xlr pin 2 > tip (mini jack) 3 > body 1 > body will give it a whirl... many thanks, leslie |
