Re: Novice's Progress - Report #2

["Julian Baldwin"]

Rob,
Which cable (XLR to 3.5mm Jack) with an attenuation circuit are you
referring to?

Do you mean that the one supplied by R=F6de with the mic incorporates an
attenuator or was this an alternative lead that you were using?

When I tested this, there was no change or
improvement that I could detect comparing 9 volt
to phantom powering through a Rolls PB224 for the
NT-4.  The mic's poor performance in the first
few tests proved to be from the attenuation
circuit in the cable XLR5->1/8" mini cable.
Continued success with your recordings. Rob D.
