Title: Sony ECM 989
Post by: gormenghast on September 19, 2015, 07:29:54 PM

Anyone run one of these?  I picked one up a while ago but never really got to look it over more closely. I know it works as it is, but I got some questions about cables.  I'm wondering if I could run a simple 5 pin XLR>3.5 Mini from the mic into a M10?  Is the connection between the head and the body a simple 5 pin XLR>5 pin XLR?  If I can find the cables I might try this at my kid's school jazz band concert.

Pretty sure you can. I had a custom cable made, plus I did use a 5pin to mini stereo into my recorder.
