If you are using #3 then the sound would be different just because it would be the sound of the cap and not the body or external power box
number 3 would not be possible w/ 99% of mics, they still have to have some kind of mic preamp/body, only ccm4's come to mind, unless youre running schoeps mk4/41/whatever>schoeps vms preamps, which takes the place of the bodies ala the jklabs/nbox
You can run schoeps/neumann/akg bluelines/franken naks/any other mic with a FET attached with the sonosax sx-m2/ls2 via a lemo connector
damn, 480's arent bluelines tho, are they?
nope, however I would think that if you too one end of the extension tube, and ran it to a lemo connection via a cable, and added a ground, making it three wires. That would work I think.
The question is, is there an active element (FET) in the extension tube or not. I'm guessing no, in which case it may not drive more than the length of the tube (due to capacitance of the wire between the mic element and the body that contains the FET). I don't know for sure though, 'cause I haven't seen the tube.
The buzzing you are getting from all the attempts are from poor grounding. Thats pretty obvious, to know for sure if i'd work i'd need to know how many connections are there plus ground.
For example, with KM140's all you need to do is cut off one end of the active cable and solder on a lemo with the correct pin outs and you can run it straight into a lemosax. Similarily i bet you could run it into a AT or Samson power module just fine.
Have anyone measured the output voltage of the Sax? It should output 60-62V polarization voltage on one of the wires. Or did we (TS.com) go through this discussion already with the "spitty" Nbox?
Thanks,
Richard
