Hello all
This is my first post on this site but it has been a great source of info to me. I have just acquired an old Cadenza ribbon mic, 50s I think. It seems in good condition and is wired to a quarter inch jack lead. I am getting a sound out when I plug the mic in unfortunately it also seems to pick up radio signals,which is not ideal! I tried pluggin it straight into my analogue 4 track and it worked but I also have a digital 16 track and am wondering if its OK to use it with that.You can also change it from low to high impedance by wiring it a different way, or so it says in the instructions(the cable has three wires inside).Im not entireley sure what its wired as now but which is better and should I try and change it to an XLR lead? Any help would be welcome.
Thanks
