Hi,
I have just got a beyerdynamic MCE58 Reporters mic to use with MY Sony DCR Vx2000E DV Camera and im having trouble getting it to work.
This may be a cabling problem but heres the lowdown on whats happening and hopefully someone with some experience on this kinda thing can help?
Ok, the mic takes a AA 1.5 Volt battery to power it, and if i out a bettery in it powers up ok.
The camera has a minijack input so i have made up an XLR to mini jack (the minijack is a trs (stereo) so i wired it as follows
XLR Pin TRS
2 T
3 R
1 s
Im not getting anything from the mic when plugged into the Cam i also tried it wired it as follows:
XLR Pin TRS
2 T
2 R
1 S
And still no joy,
The mic works ok if i plug it into my Amek 9098 Outboard Mic Pre amp so im not so sure there is a fault with the mic.
Can anyone help at all ?
Thanks !
