edwar64896 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Has anyone got a wiring diagram that will allow me to terminate a Cos 11D or M142 directly to a 3-pin XLR allowing the mic to be powered from +48v phantom? Thanks, mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Ambient makes an adapter called Eumel. I know that's not exactly what you asked, but that will get the job done. Edited July 9, 2015 by Johnny Karlsson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWsound Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) The best way to accomplish that is to wire it for a wireless tx I.E. Lectro or Sennheiser and use an XLR power supply by Ambient or PSC. The alternative is to purchase a hardwired Lav and have a usual suspect wire an adapter in line with the power supply. Feel free to PM me for details. Edited July 9, 2015 by MRWsound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I am a +1 for the ambient. Rewiring the mic so it works with phantom limits its ability to be used with a TX. I own and love the ambient emuels...they work great and serve to increase the flexibility of that mic. They are like $100 but totally worth itt!

edwar64896 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Many thanks for the suggestions. Some more context is warranted. Firstly I love the emuels - have two myself. What I also have is a bunch of older lavs that I will never again use with wireless TX and want to make use of them as car rig mics. I can wire and solder no problem but am really wondering how best to deal with 48 to 5v stepdown in an XLR wiring. Emuels are great but the aussie dollar has tanked so these are likely to be AU$200+ in the future and I reckon I can get this done much more affordably if I put my mind to it. Thx Mark.

John Blankenship Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 From the Ambient web site: The EMP nicknamed “The Eumel” (pronounce “Oymal”, german for widget) is exactly that: A small widget that allows hardwired use of lavalier mikes.

chrismedr Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 rode makes an XLR adapter fro their lava which is kinda cheap... never compared the sound quality to an eumel but for cheap experiments it seems like a good start to me. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Duffy Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think this is along the right lines: modding the old Radio Shack PZM microphones for 48V operation. The same princple show hold for lavs. http://www.jdbsound.com/art/art520.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickreich Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 here's the circuit for the DPA lav P48 adapter. It might be adaptable to Cos-11s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Trew Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Here's a lower cost option: http://www.trewaudio.com/store/Remote-Audio-LAVPSSP.html It's longer than the Eumel, and only available with a TA5 connector for mics wired for the Lectrosonics standard (servo or non servo inputs), but it's quiet and strong, and only $49.
