How to bring XLR to a GL2
I've got an AT3130 condenser mic I'd like to attach to my GL2's mic jack. The mic is connected to this phantom power supply:

It's not room noise, it's white noise. Furthermore, when I capture the sound to edit the visible waveforms are very very low in amplitude. The peaks aren't even 1/4 of the available "headroom." It looks like the mike isn't outputting it's full signal and a small amount of noise comes across just as loud as my target. I'm new to using phantom powered/XLR mics so I don't know what might be causing my problem. I've switched the attenuators on the GL2 and on the mic without any improvement. Grateful for any insights, Rhett |
I think I've solved it. My XLR-mini adaptor cable is a balanced cable. I rewired the connector and the audio is much improved. I imagine that using a proper adaptor would do even better but for now I've taken care of the hissing.

I use the beachtek box with my GL1. It gives you 2 seperate line or mic inputs with volume control on each.
