Figure 2: Connecting to unbalanced inputs
1) On the XLR connector (4), use a wire bridge to connect pin 1
to pin 3 and the cable shield.
2) Connect the inside wire of the cable to pin 2 on the XLR
connector (4) and the tip contact of the jack plug (5).
Unbalanced cables may pick up interference from stray magnetic
fields near power or lighting cables, electric motors, etc. like an
antenna. This may introduce hum or similar noise if you use a cable
that is longer than 16 feet (5 m).
3.2 C411 III L
The optional B23 L battery supply allows you to connect the pickup
to balanced or unbalanced inputs with no phantom power.
