Testing T- power microphone with multimeter?

How can I test if a Sennheiser mkh 416 T  works using a multimeter?

I bought a cheap sennheiser mkh 416 T  in mint condition ( t-power /12 volt) but neither seller og i had the means/ways to test it.
I want to buy a converter from ordinary 48 volt phantom power to T- power, so I can use the microphone with my setup
which uses 48 volt phantom.

But i don't want to throw more money away if the microphone is broken.
The layout of the pins on the xlr wit T-power are different than with ordinary 48 volt phantom power.
From the web: "T-power requires voltage (9-12 VDC) across pin-2 and pin-3 (pin-2 positive, pin-3 negative across 180 ohms) of the balanced mic cable to power the microphone"
I can use a multimeter and solder but have no understanding of electronics.
I get a reading of 58 kOhm across pin 2 and 3. But no reading in ohms across pin 1 and 2 or pin 1 or 3.
I hope this is ok Ive just joined GroupDIY.

I had the same issue, the best if you build a converter, it is easy and cheap:

A multimeter won't tell you anything. You need a P48 to T12 converter. Or a mixer with T12 power, of course.

I just sold my MKH 8XX's. They hadn't seen any use for a long time.
