I was addressing the subject line......
however.., suppose you had a 9v bat box that had XLR inputs (unbalanced).
I dont see how this wouldn't work in that case ??
I'm just thinking about cheap omni caps (Panasonic or equiv) which only require two wires each to run with a 9v.
Also curious as to how this "might not" work when going to 3.5mm > XLR Todd
?
is there another way to do that bridge that i'm missing ? take the powering out of the equation, and just bringing signal from 3.5mm > XLR ??
I'm considering of all the mics out there terminated w/a 3.5mm that like battery power. Every SP mic, much of the Core-Sound...Church Audio..etc etc. the common folks. All of those rigs are a 3 wire connection for TWO mics...with one of the three being a shared ground.
Even if a BB was in line w/the mics..so they are fed power...you still have a 3.5mm output and lets suppose for the sake of this thread you want that to go into your recording deck with XLR inputs.
The thread..., I thought, was more about bridging the connection than providing a full schematic with power options.
But.., that is what the poster needs to know first and foremost, as Todd points out.
Good info all around fellas!
