Help! While I know this ain't exactly 'recording' related, I don't have many other folks to ask . Here's the deal; I have an AKG C520L wireless condenser headset, with a 3-pin mini XLR connector. Thinking I could use it with a Shure T4N-CA transmitter, the first thing I see is that the Shure unit uses a 4-pin connector. Hey, no biggie; my music store sell an official Shure WA333-TA4F connector (are you with me so far?). Now begins the fun. The AKG headset end is molded on, so I go right ahead and chop the sucker off . Now, open the Shure instructions.......... drum roll, please.....................
I have tried various combinations with the red and white wire; white as 'hot' and red as 'hot'. No resistor, no bias voltage. As a simple two-wire-plus-shield wiring job(?), nothing seems to work. Sooooooooooooooooo, at the risk of having everyone kick my ass, now what the heck am I supposed to do? Chalk it up to experience?
@#$%!!!!!
What the heck is this? Two wires to the AKG headset; red and white. And a shield. The Shure schematic shows different colors and a wiring scheme that makes no sense. Then I ask the music store. I get the following 'instructions'; Pin 1: Shield
Pin 2: Bias (+5Vdc)
Pin 3: Audio
Pin 4: Bias return - 20 k Ohm resistor to ground or equivalent active bias
management circuit (jumpered to pin 3 when used with most condenser
microphones)
