I got a little Boss BR Micro recorder and it has a stereo 1/8" input socket for ext mic. I wish to connect my Condenser mic to the unit using a separate 48v phantom power supply. From there I would need an XLR to 1/8" adapter cable with the 1/8" plug to go into the boss..... but the only cable I can find have stereo 1/8" plugs on them. I assume most general Condenser / Dynamic mics are mono so why would you use stereo plugs on one end? Boss does mention it is a stereo input and if you use a mono mic it will simply just record one track instead of stereo and no problem with this...then they vaguely suggests using an XLR to 1/8" stereo cable wont work and show a double headed XLR set going into a single 1/8" stereo plug.
Can anyone put me on the right track here?
