b born droid Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 So this guy I do work with has this microphone which he got from his Dad back in Italy. It's pretty old. And basically I have no fucking clue what these connections are, aside from assuming that the 3 prongs allows for a balanced connection. Anyone got any ideas how to get this working? This is the end of the mic: Which has the following connecting lead: With this at the other end: It's not a normal XLR because the ring has slight indentations, almost like a MIDI cable, and it's smaller than normal XLR too. Any ideas? Here's the mic in case you were wondering: Cheers guys. P.S. That's not my carpet.

mcbpete Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Think it's a '3 pin DIN', you can buy DIN->XLR converter plugs - something like this bad boy: Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.
