S.
The microphone provides a balanced output on a 3-pin male
XLR connector:
Pin 1: ground
Pin 2: hot
Pin 3: return
You can connect the microphone either to a balanced or an
unbalanced microphone input.
1. Use a commercial XLR cable such as the optional MK 9/10
from AKG.
The length of these cables does not affect audio quality.
2. Plug the female XLR connector on the microphone cable
into the male XLR connector on the microphone.
3. Plug the other connector on the microphone cable into the
desired microphone input socket on your mixer or amplifier.
The D 3700 S has the same mechanical,
M
electrical, and acoustic characteristics as
the D 3700 M and features an XLR connec-
tor module with a noiseless on/off switch.
The switch is recessed to prevent the
microphone being switched off uninten-
tionally.
