Well, since I know a number of you are on pins (get it?) and needles for an update on this thread...here you go: So I got it wired up!!! Pretty much just went with Pin 1 on the DIN to Pin 2 on the XLR, and Pin 3 on the DIN to Pin 3 on the XLR. Of course Pin 2 of the DIN is ground, and that goes to X...

Yeah, what a trainwreck, right? You are dead on the money! It just hit me that I read posts where people ask (what I think) are completely asinine questions that don't really have answers, and people respond all day long!!! And then I post a very nice message requesting assistance for a soldering pr...

Nevermind, I decided to just bend the 5 pin DIN with needlenose pliars, just enough so i could JAM it in with FORCE to an XLR input. Ha, you know what they say, good enough for government work! HAaha!!! Then again, who really gives a sh-t, right? Do you think you're better than me? Yeah, I think you...

Ever wire a 5 pin DIN (B&O BM6 Ribbon mic) to an XLR?

Hi!

I found this schematic, but I don't know how to read it. Has anyone ever wired one of these from the 5 pin DIN to XLR?

Thanks for any help!
I keep running into trouble becuase I can't read a schematic with confidence.

It's all relative, really. I hope people start buying this tape. I hope people buy RMGI as well. I'm going to have to do my part and buy a reel of 1/2" ASAP. If sales suck...I don't think another company will touch tape. Why? There are much easier ways to lose money. So...if you like tape and want n...

A couple quick patchbay questions - Otari/ADC

1) I'm currently making snakes for my Otari MX5050 8 track. I'm doing 2 different things, 1 set of snakes is going to be XLR to 1/4, in case I ever travel with the deck and want to interface with my Mackie 1604. I know the Mackie is unbalanced...should I use unbalanced 1/4 plugs? Is there any benefi...

Hey thanks pb.

I saw one of your other posts & I think you said you own a 5050 8 track.

If so, what kind of tape have you been using? I'm curious about RMGI. My machine was just calibrated for Quantegy 499 - which I believe is the SM900 from RMGI.
