warranty.

M Phantom
You may connect AKG phantom power supplies to unbalanced
inputs, too.
Use a cable with a female XLR connector and TS jack plug:
1. On the XLR connector, use a wire bridge to connect pin 1 to
pin 3 and the cable shield.
2. Connect the inside wire of the cable to pin 2 on the XLR
connector and the tip contact of the jack plug.
Unbalanced cables may pick up interference from stray mag-
netic fields near power or lighting cables, electric motors, etc.
like an antenna. This may introduce hum or similar noise when
you use a cable that is longer than 16 feet (5 m).
The optional TM 40 transmitter module allows you to convert
your microphone into a wireless microphone that you can use
with any WMS 40 Series receiver from AKG.
