Post by: maCalex on December 15, 2005, 11:20:36 AM

hi there!

i have a set of at853rx's on order (bought through musiciansgear)

- i am running a sonosax m2 phantompower which i wanna run between the mics and my d100.
i bet i need 2 connectors/adapters for connecting the mics to the amp - right ?

are these the correct ones?

Hi Alex,

You will like the AT853Rx mics.  Luckily, you will not need any other accesories to be up and running.  The set you chose to buy (assuming you noted the correct model) already has the adapters you linked and comes with attached cables, and they will plug directly into the sonosax.  You may need a cable to go from the sonosax to the d100 if you do not already have one. 

The mics you ordered have 25 foot cables, so I would recommend shortening the length of the cables when you get them, the instructions for shortening them will be included with the original microphone packaging/instructions.  It's easy, just snip and solder and attach to screw terminals in the XLR connectors.

If you have any further questions, let me know.

Hey Goose !

Thanx for your answer!
Are u sure that the cables and adapters come within the set?
There is no info on musiciansgear.com that cable and connectors come with the mics and I havent got any confirmation on my invoice from mg.com that it is a full set of mics, cables and connectors - thats why I'm asking :) !.

I've marked the field shown in the picture attached....

I am positive.  The capsules cannot disconnect from the cables, so they have to be included!  I used to own a pair of these, and they are good mics.  Enjoy.
