RE: [Harp-L] Re : controlled magnetic mic elements (was Harp-L Digest, Vol 12, Issue 30)



there are probably a lot of folks that can tell you that a JT-30 can
have an adapter for the amphenol connector type used on them.

the adapter I use is from amphenol to 1/4" phono jack - then I use a
guitar patch cord to hook to an amp. You can just modify the amphenol
(or, get it done) to am xlr jack.

I can assure you that my sound is not wimping out from this setup. Of
course I do regard a balanced line xlr with an sm-57 pretty cool too.

different stuff for the different puff is all.

any such elements have never been used in a mic?

You depend on the sellers intrgrity.  On eBay, check his feedback.  And
if
it's not up to par, let him know.  Most sellers on eBay will go te extra
mile.

JT30's require a special JT-30 cable, not a standard balanced line XLR
cable..  Use a normal XLR cable and the sound becomes very low and thin.
Also, JT30's require a high impedance input.  Run it into a low
impedance
and the sound wimps out.
