Yeah, yeah I know it sounds like a stupid question... and maybe it is.
I'm (hopefully) about to get a MicroTrack and I'm wondering if I should get some mic cables that go from XLR to 1/4" or what everybody else is gonna' do? I read a statement about hating "dongles" and I hate those too... I don't want to be screwing with adapters making the MicroTrack fat 'n awkward (like my prom date)... so whatta' ya' suggest?
Also I'm wondering if some of you have XLR lavs that you put a break in... like a 3.5 locking mini... which I need for a wireless set. I'm trying to figure out the best way to use all the mics I have with XLR jacks (camera and SD mixer), 1/4" jacks (MicroTrack), and 3.5mm locking jacks (wireless sets).
Also is it pretty normal for the pin configuration of XLR to match the pin of 1/4" connectors? So that my signal is okay and the 1/4" still pass phantom power?
Any input is appreciated.
