Hello Bernard,


I was in a similar situation once, but NOT with an AKG SOLIDTUBE. No.

It was a DIY Mic found without a power supply. But this is what I did anyway:


Bought The t.bone power supply from Thomann, also bought their 7 PIN XLR cable (sold separately).

And finally purchased a 6 PIN FEMALE XLR connector from RS.


Then I had to check all the voltages coming from the 7 PIN XLR/PSU (extremely careful).

After that I de-soldered the 7 PIN XLR Female on the cable, re-soldered all the small coloured cables to the correct pins of the new 6 PIN XLR. Checked all the correct voltages were going to the right places before trying with the mic. Connected the Microphone and voila! It worked nicely.


That is what I DID. Usual Disclaimer here!

This is a job better left to a skilled person in soldering/electronics.

Find a competent Tech. or a friend who is good with DIY/Electronics.


Hope this helps ;)

M
