Power Mini Electret with Phantom
Hi,
I am using a mini condenser electret microphone for research that I would like to connect to the balanced XLR input of a mixer. Ideally, I would like to power the mic on the mixer's phantom power. I tried connecting the - and ground of a hacked XLR cable and hooking up the mic's leads accordingly (as suggested by some websites), but the noise was too dramatic. So, I'm unsure what the best solution is. Should I buy an unbalanced to balanced converter? Is there a simple "hack job" solution? Should I just splurge for some more expensive balanced mics? I'm not incredibly knowledgable on the subject, so any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. |
