Mic wiring question - Beyer m610 vs. MD421n
Hi,
I recently bought a Beyer m610 with a DIN connector, the seller didn't provide the cable and I haven't got time yet to go to the electronic store to buy a connector to build a cable. Today arrived a MD421n _with_ cable which I tried to use with the Beyer too. I feel disappointed to notice that nothing is coming out of the Beyer, while the md421n was perfect sounding. So the cable is good. I 'd asked the seller and he assures that the mic was working, so I'm inclined to think they're cabled differently. Anyone can help me understand how should I build the DIN to XLR cable for the Beyer when I'll have the connector? I'm able to solder but my knowledge in electronics is quite limited. The pin on the mic are numbered. Thanks for any pointer -- Emiliano Grilli Linux user #209089 http://www.emillo.net |

I don't know what an M610 is (it's not in any of my catalogs, going back to about 1975) but the usual Beyer DIN pinoiut is signal is on pins 1 and 3, with 2 being the shield. But there are variations including more pins. |

Anyone can help me understand how should I build the DIN to XLR cable for the Beyer when I'll have the connector? First of all, those are Tuchel connectors, because they have a locking ring on them. There are at least three different pinouts of the 5-pin Tuchel for microphones.... an unbalanced one, a balanced one, and a stereo mike one. You'll know which one you have and how it's wired when you get out the ohmmeter. If you have one pin that has continuity to the case, and another wire with a couple ohms to the case, you have an unbalanced mike. If you have one pin with continuity to the case and two pins with continuity to one another but NOT the case, you have a balanced mike. If you have TWO pairs of pins that are connected together you have a stereo mike. I'm able to solder but my knowledge in electronics is quite limited. The pin on the mic are numbered. The ohmmeter will tell you everything. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Ok There are at least three different pinouts of the 5-pin Tuchel for microphones.... an unbalanced one, a balanced one, and a stereo mike one. Mine has 3 pins (sorry, I should have pointed that out) You'll know which one you have and how it's wired when you get out the ohmmeter. If you have one pin that has continuity to the case, and another wire with a couple ohms to the case, you have an unbalanced mike. If you have one pin with continuity to the case and two pins with continuity to one another but NOT the case, you have a balanced mike. If you have TWO pairs of pins that are connected together you have a stereo mike. Pin 2 has continuity to the case. My tester minimal resolution is 2k, so I see always "1" trying to connect the other two pins between them or to the case... According to Mike's advice (thank you, Mike) pin 2 is the shield and pins 1 and 3 are the signal. They seem not to have continuity between them, so this is an unbalanced mike if I understand correctly. I'm able to solder but my knowledge in electronics is quite limited.

Can you describe the mic, at least in general, or post a photo of it somewhere? Does it look like a cheap mic, or a fine one? Beyer has made both. It may be unbalanced. They were made with pin 2 ground and either pin 1 or pin 3 hot. And one variation was dual impedance, with low impedance between 2-3 and high impedance between 2-1. An ohm meter will tell most. |

I don't even know if they have that connector... By phone they haven't been able to tell. However I ordered an adapter in ebay... let's see if it works An ohm meter will tell most.

wrote: http://emillo.net/download/m610/index.html It certainly looks like a pretty decent mic, not one of the ones made to be packed with tape recorders. Since it says 200 ohms, it's likely to be fixed impedance. I'd go with the Pin 2 shield, signal on 1-3 wiring. I have a Sennheiser 604 (I think - the square-ish one, with the name Echolette) with a 3-pin Tuchel connector that's wired as Pin 2=shield, 1-3=signal. I never found the proper connector with the locking ring so I made up a temporary adapter (which will probably be there forever) to an XLR using a 3-pin DIN female connector. It fits and the pins make contact just fine. By the way, pin 2 on the mic is the one in the middle, perfectly obvious on a 3-pin connector, but things get screwy when you get to the 5-pin (such as used for MIDI and European consumer stereo audio in/ out) series. I don't know which of pins 1 and 3 is "positive" but either way will work for listening purposes. When you know how to wire it so that you get sound out of it, you can check the polarity and if it doesn't match a known-correct mic, swap the two signal pins. To check that, you'll need either a mixer or pretty good ears. Put the "standard" and the mic you're testing as close together as possible, connect them to a mixer, pan them to the same place if it's a stereo mixer, and play some music into them from a speaker. Turn up one mic, then turn up the other one. If the sum gets louder, the polarity is correct. If the level of the mix drops, then your mic- under-test is wired backwards. |

Mic wiring question - Beyer m610 vs. MD421n
The cable has pin 2 on the tuchel wired to pin 3 on the XLR. The microphone has 40 ohm resistance between pin 2 and 3 on the tuchel, and no pin seems connected to the case. Hey fellas, as a bit of a side bar, using a DC ohmeter to check out mics can cause some problems. Applying DC voltages to a ribbon mic can wipe out the ribbon from the transient spike. Fortunately, I have never done this to my ribbons, but I know some who have. Even a condenser or SM57 will likely have their transformers DC biased after measuring with an ohmeter across the coil. This can be fixed, but most people don't even know it happens - and the result is a crappy sounding mic! Marty |

First, most modern equipment lacks transformers. SM57s are more the exception than the rule, for example. Secondly, its hard to do an experiment where you apply a Simpson 260 on an ohms range to a good audio transformer, and all of a sudden it starts cranking out beaucups distortion and/or noise.

I have an older Beckman DMM with a 20 ohm setting that uses 4mA of current for the measurement. All of my other DMMs have 200 ohm settings that use ~1mA. There is a fine explanation of fixing a magentized transformer in chapter 11, written by Bill Whitlock, of the Handbook for Sound Engineers, 3rd Edition. http://www.jensen-transformers.com/a...%20Chapter.pdf See the section near the end on de-magnetizing.

First, most modern equipment lacks transformers. SM57s are more the exception than the rule, for example. I think there are about a gazillion dynamics and chinese LDCs that use xfmrs at their outputs. Maybe even several "good" mics. Secondly, its hard to do an experiment where you apply a Simpson 260 on an ohms range to a good audio transformer, and all of a sudden it starts cranking out beaucups distortion and/or noise. If there is residual magnetism, it might cut peak undistorted output. Transformer cores are mostly made out of magnetically soft materials. That specifcally means that they don't hold magnetism. OK, Arnie. But, tell that to Bill W. and Per Lundahl. I bet it happens ALOT! The results are probably subtle, but not at high levels, moreso at lower levels where xfmrs are not very distorted.

Somebody referenced BillW's web site, specfically the following: http://www.jensen-transformers.com/a...%20Chapter.pdf "Microphone input transformers used with phantom power are exposed to this possibility whenever a microphone is connected or disconnected from a powered input. However, distortion tests before and after exposure to the worst-case 7 mA current pulses have shown that the effects are indeed subtle. Third harmonic distortion, which normally dominates transformer distortions, is unaffected. Second harmonic, which normally is near the measurement threshold, is typically increased by about 20 dB but is still some 15 dB lower than the third harmonic. Is it audible? Some say yes. But even this distortion disappears into the noise floor above a few hundred Hz. In any case, it can be prevented by connecting and disconnecting microphones only when phantom power is off. However, such magnetized transformers can be de-magnetized." The results are probably subtle, BillW says: "However, distortion tests before and after exposure to the worst-case 7 mA current pulses have shown that the effects are indeed subtle" There's that word subtle. but not at high levels, moreso at lower levels where xfmrs are not very distorted. I have some transformers on hand to test... |

Unfortunately most of them use a transformer, because the design they copied did. And unfortunately the transformers most of them use are so shoddy they should not be considered acceptable for AC power applications let alone broadband audio. This goes for some of the $1000 and above Chinese mikes as well, I am sorry to report. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
