Using any power supply other than those
recommended by AKG may damage your
microphone and will void the warranty.
You may connect AKG phantom power supplies
to unbalanced inputs, too.
Fig. 2: Connecting to an unbalanced input.
Use a cable with a female XLR connector and TS
jack plug:
1. On the XLR connector, use a wire bridge to
connect pin 1 to pin 3 and the cable shield.
2. Connect the inside wire of the cable to pin 2
on the XLR connector and the tip contact of
the jack plug.
Unbalanced cables may pick up interference from
stray magnetic fields near power or lighting
cables, electric motors, etc. like an antenna. This
may introduce hum or similar noise when you use
a cable that is longer than 16 feet (5 m).
