MondoBurger Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Digging through a dark corner of my school's equipment cage I found some Sennheiser MKH 804s, an 816t, an Electro voice DL-42, and a Sony c-74. The only mics currently used by students are ME66s and 416s. Would it be worth my while to pick up a t-power converter to use the 804 or 816t?

CraigF Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I world say yes but start with 1 http://www.trewaudio.com/store/PSC-48V-Phantom-to-12V-T-Power-Barrel-Adapter.html are there spots of red paint on them for Red Dot? if so you will need a cable that flips pins 2 & 3 between the converter and the mic a 816, converter barrel and custom Rt. Angle XLR will just fit in the Rycote for the 815/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have a big pile of 48 ph to 12T barrels and no use for them at all anymore. PM me and I'll send you one. phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Hayter Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I remember the 804 as a lovely sounding mic to use indoors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 It is worth it. The 816 is a wonderful example to demonstrate all advantages and disadvantages of a long shotgun mike to students. Because it's an 816, it might not be that old (less than about 40 years), otherwise it would be an 815. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I use my 815T fairly often. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
