HOT to SCREEN ?

Any special reason why ?

Just look at the source of the suggestion.

Meeeeooooow....

The hot pin is the one I've just finished soldering the wire to.

Otherwise, it's the connection that becomes positive relative to the other
output connection when the momentary pressure on the front of the
diaphgram is rising or higher than average ambient pressure.

The cold pin is the other one in both cases.

Wiring "cold" to earth preserves absolute phase going from balanced
microphone to unbalanced input, while wiring "hot" to earth will reverse
absolute phase.

Is that clear enough?


** Fine.

Now explain how absolute phase matters when there is only one mic involved ,
or at all - in SR or recording.

Relate it to the post you just shat on - if you like.
