Somebody have meet a very high drop P48 drop voltage with the CMC3 ? me yes, around 34VDC !
Scheops CMC3--U Problems

And how's that any different from what's specified on the schematic?

Points 1 and 2, CMC3 should be seeing 8.4v.

One part you need to think about is the JFET to PNPs coupling cap values
abbey road d enfer had a good post about the coupling cap values if I find it i will link it if someone else does not find it before me.

Hi Gus, many thanks to you, yes with pleasure, let me know...
The drop voltage I have is between HOT and COLD, but after many calculation it seems to be ok, but strange !!!!

"Hot" and "cold" being the XLR pins 2 and 3? Or... what are the points you're measuring between?

???? Ground ! PIN 1 ! 1&2 and 1&2.
Have you even taken a look at the schematic in the forum post i linked there? If you did, you might have noticed what i was trying to point out there.
In XLR connectors, as per standard, pin 1 is ground (NOT "cold); pin 2 is "hot" / signal positive polarity; pin 3 is "cold" / negative polarity.
In the above-linked schematic, you'll note that in the case of CMC3, you should expect 8.4v between pin 2 (or 3) and 1, or 34v in the case of CMC5 (depending on whether R8 is bypassed with a jumper wire or not).
