microdot cable is probaly connected (perhaps through a series resistor) dir=
ectly to the XLR pin 2 (or pin 3). You can probably balance the adapter (or=
even make your own one) by inserting an adjustable resistor (a 5k ohm pote=
ntiometer for instance) between ground and the other XLR signal pin 3 (or 2=
). You could then use a simple voltmeter for measusing the DC voltage betwe=
