gopi, dont short any pins to ground. you will find the pinouts for five pin=
xlr in many places. only the ground of the two 3 pin xlrs is commoned at t=
he five pin ground. the other four pins go pin to pin.

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Re: Zoom H4, ECM 957 wiring
Many thanks to Rob Danielson and Philip Tyler
I first went I Phil's way and made a 5pin XLR to two 1/4 jacks - but
then the signal levels were abysmally low on the the Zoom H4. Then I
tried Rob's way with 5pin to two 3pin XLRs (Thanks to Umashankar for
the connectors and cables). Here Ground, 1, 3 and 5 were shorted at
the 5pin XLR side (it is the same in the original cable that came with
the mic) and at the 3pin XLR end G, 1 and 3 were shorted. In this
setup too the signal levels are low; so low even when gain is set at
'High' there is'nt enough signal. So now,

Subject: Is it just that ECM957 is low output mic? or
Message: 3.
Subject: ECM957 is not compatible with Zoom H4?
Otherwise the same mic does a decent job with my minidisc MZ-R37.
Thanks once again for all the help.
