Title: how to connect an unballanced mic (AT822) to a ballanced preamp (AD-20)?
Post by: kuuan on July 14, 2006, 10:00:28 PM

I want connect an AT822 mic to an AD-20.

The AT822 come with 2 cables,
one ends in an unbalanced stereo 3.5mm male mini,
the other ends in 2 unballanced mono 3.5mm male mini which incl. adapters to make it 2 x mono male 1/4inch plugs.
The AD-20's accepts 2 mono XLR ballanced males.

Is it sufficient to use 2 simple plug adapter as this one:

Or do I need a transformer/isolator box as this one:

the dual mono ended cord with those adapters, while not the cleanest solution, will be more than adequate for your needs.
