Here's an easy question that I can't quite figure out.
I have a Beyerdynamic dynamic mic with the usual XLR connector. I want to
make up a lead to connect it to the XLR input of an M-Audio USB preamp. I
have the XLRs - problem is, I only have unbalanced instrument cable. As
I'm only going to be using it for some karaoke fun at home with the kids,
I don't need balanced. How do I wire up the cable to the XLRs?


With those connectors on the ends, yes you do need balanced.


** Absolute ******** !!!



Screened twin is pretty cheap stuff. You can get away with instrument cable
if you run two lengths of it twisted together.



** Stupid and unnecessary.

What a pathetic moron you are.
