Pin 2: hot
Pin 3: return
You can connect the microphone either to a bal-
anced or an unbalanced microphone input.
• To connect the microphone to a balanced input
(XLR connector), use a commercial XLR cable.
• To connect the microphone to an unbalanced
microphone input (1/4" jack), use a cable with a
female XLR connector and a 1/4" TS jack plug.
Please note that unbalanced cables may pick
up interference from stray magnetic fields near
power or lighting cables, electric motors, etc.

noise when you use a cable that is longer than
16 feet (5 m).
