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.
