Would there be any downsides to rewiring my MK-012s' connectors? As in making pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold so the mic is wired "correctly"?
I saw in a thread elsewhere that the pin 3 hot helps with some wireless plugs like the Lectrosonics HMa.None
Could I just record it with another mic like the MKH 8050 to see if the waveforms are similar or if ones inverted?That depends on if and how many signal inversions take place between the capsule and the XLR output.
I find that making a popping noise with my mouth is a great way to match the waveforms. You want a sound with a hard plosive at the beginning. Snapping your fingers works, too. Just ensure the diaphragms are equidistant from the sound source.Could I just record it with another mic like the MKH 8050 to see if the waveforms are similar or if ones inverted?
The schematic in post #12 shows that pin 2 is already the driven pin.Would there be any downsides to rewiring my MK-012s' connectors? As in making pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold so the mic is wired "correctly"?
Many users say pin 3 is hot on them.The schematic in post #12 shows that pin 2 is already the driven pin.
What did you think is driving pin 3?
I don't see that phase reversed (compared to AES standard) has been established yet.the fact that the phase is reversed
Maybe a stupid question, but if MK-012s are wired pin 3 hot, are they recording in negative phase?
Among the half dozen MK-012’s I have, it’s about 50/50 which pin is hot.
