Hey fellas
i have acquired some old quirky consumer microphones in the past months. some of them has TS connector, some have DIN, all with fixed 1m-5m cables.
I wish to mod all of them to have female xlr socket (and a 5cm cable i guess), so i can simply connect them with any xlr cable.
that made me wonder:
some of them utilize TS plug, having only 1 conductor and a shield.
What i know about dynamic microphones, is that 2 wires are connected to the coil that is moved in an analog way to that of the diaphragm. then it goes to a transformer, and then to the plug.
so, basically, every mic need to have +,- and shield (balanced signal) . if thats the case, how is the "unbalancing" of the signal occurs inside the mic?
how can i make the balance mod i wish on all these old mics?
cheers
