Reterminating an OST TL40

Hi Guys,

I am getting no love from the manufacturer or the distributor of the microphone, so I am forced to ask here.

Has anyone successfully terminated an OST TL40 for Wisycom systems?

My best guess would be to wire it for the "2 wire + bias" setting on the wisycom Tx, however I'm suffering a little bit of a mental block over the supply voltage available.

 The manufacturers spec lists the nominal supply voltage for the TL40 as 1.2volts, the wisy's offer 5.5volts - should I be looking to wire in a resistor or will the mic operate happily with a 5.5v supply?  There is no maximum supply voltage offered by the OST on their website and they weren't willing to answer my question via email.  I'd also like to terminate one for micron explorer which outputs 9v or 5 v for +ve and -ve bias mics respectively. 

Does anyone know if the TL40 will operate happily on these supply voltages?  It seemed sensible to ask when the supply voltages involved are approx 4 and 7 times the listed nominal value.

read the manual. page 12.

Hi Miles,

I've read the wisy manuals - that's the  2 wires+ bias wiring I was referring to in my post.  I probably wasn't clear - I tend to ramble a bit!

My main reason for being cautious about this is that the TL40 listed a nominal supply voltage of 1.2 volts - I want to be absolutely sure that feeding it 4 times (wisy) or 7 times (micron) this voltage is not going to result in damage to the mic or some other undesired effect.

I know that we're dealing in very small voltages here so I'm perhaps being too cautious, but I wanted to seek advice nonetheless!
