Thanks! and profuse apologies --- when it comes to wires and electrons
I'm MUCH less sophisticated than people give me credit for.
Here's a picture of what I hope I've understood:
http://ucfilespace.uc.edu/~pelikas/mics.pdf
I'm confident I can do this (or the same with a different geometry if
I've got this wrong). I'll try this and see how it goes.
I don't need PIP as my microphone has its own power supply.
But I also haven't a clue how the capacitors should fit into this
picture. (I didn't even know they had + and - ends!).
Do they go in all 3 wires just before they reach the recorder? Or
connect pairs of wires?
I'm looking forward to this --- can't tell you how often just a little
padding would have made for much more useful recordings.
