Hello everyone, I have just bought a microphone from Ebay for my mini
home studio. The thing is, the connector on it is one I believe is
called a "Nanocon", a 3 pin connector made by Neutrik. The microphone
came with a Nanocon to Neutricon lead and a Neutricon to 1/4" TR plug.
What I would like to know is:
1) Is it possible to get a Nanocon to XLR lead?
2) Would this lead be balanced?

Sure. Markertek should be willing to make you one. They will want a
pinout of the Nanocon, but they have the connectors in stock.

2) Would this lead be balanced?

If you want it to be, and the output is, sure.

Thanks. I have been emailing a company in the UK about making such a
lead, but I hadn't heard from them for a while so I thought I'd ask
here. Thanks again.

In the UK, you can get the connectors from Neutrik UK in Ryde, or whoever
they would recommend for a more local dealer. Your local TV repair place
can probably make a cable up for you with no problem.

'Nanocon' is a new one on me. Never mind Neutricon etc. Can't even see it on
Neutrik UK's site. Oh - ok it's under Industrial Connectors.

Try these guys. http://www.vdctrading.com/

They're a Neutrik main dealer and make cables to order for little more than
the cost you would pay for the parts.

Yeah, I'd never seen one either. It should be listed under "Wierd
Miniature Connectors"

Ahhhh, if only you knew typical UK 'TV repair places'.

Wouldn't know an XLR even ! Well, maybe, if you were lucky... and if the wind
was blowing.....

In the UK, I'd suggest you contact Stewart Ward (designer and manufacturer
of Award Session amplifiers). He's a nice guy and I'm sure he can help you.
He uses good cables and makes them to order with your choice of plugs. Tell
him Jose from ukmg sent you :-) (no, I don't get a commission!):

They don't have to know an XLR. They just need to know how to solder and
which wire goes where. You're going to have to tell them which wire goes
where, though.

Oh, I dunno. The one near me seems to be able to fix near anything. Then
again, he's about 104 years old, and was probably a mate of Marconi's,
so he probably doesn't count as typical.

Great shop though. He sells soldering irons, screws by the pound, and
jelly babies. He also has a parts bin you could hold a disco in.
