Hm... Just to make sure:
There are two inputs in a balanced mic amplifier. Pin 2 is one input and pin
3 the other. When recording, both inputs must "see" the same impedance.
The output of a PRO5W handle is 200 Ohms. If the signal lead is connected to
pin 2 (hot / signal) the other lead (cold / no signal) must be connected to
ground - at the PC board, inside the handle - with a 10 mfd condensor and
200 Ohms resistor.
Then, a induced hum in the cable going to pin 2 will be cancelled by the
same induced hum in the cable going to pin 3, as the two amplifiers are
working out of phase with one another.
