Topic: Re-terminating Countryman B3

[scoper]

I need to re-terminate a pair of Countryman B3 from the Sennheiser wireless plugs to a stereo miniplug.

Illconditioned gave us these instructions:
> Wires: shield, red, black.  Shields to ground (sleeve) on miniplug.
> Red wires to tip (left), ring (right).  Black wires each go to 2.2k
> resistor to ground.  There is some debate as to whether a source

> That's it. Just plug this into Edirol R09 or Sony PCM and you're good
> to go!


My friend who thinks he can do it asks the following:

Is that a 2.2k resistor for each mic, or one shared for
the pair.  ie:

  (ground) --- 2.2k ---.----mic1 black wire
                        \___mic2 black wire
or

  (ground) -.- 2.2k--mic1 black wire
             \_2.2k__mic2 black wire

Can anyone enlighten? I sent a message to Richard but no response yet.
