hobie690 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hello! I'm a camera guy, and finally decided I should get myself a second wireless system to match my first one. The first one was a UCR411a receiver and a UM400 transmitter. I now have another UCR411a receiver on the way as well as a UM400a transmitter. When I ordered my second transmitter, I mistakenly thought that my current transmitter was also UM400a. I have a couple of Sanken Cos11s in my inventory already and thought I'd be set to go. The issue of servo bias vs the earlier non-servo kind is in the cobwebs of my memory from purchasing these microphones back in 2017, but I can't find any proof as to which variety of microphone wiring I purchased. I would think I would have ordered servo bias as I believe those microphones are backward compatible, but can't find proof one way or the other. The fine gentlemen who sold me the Sankens is Eric Toline--some of you may know him and may also know that sadly he passed away in October--so I can't ask him now either! Can someone help me figure out how to know how my Sankens are wired? Is this an issue? Thanks! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobie690 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think I've answered my own question! I have one of these little power supplies: http://www.professionalsound.com/specs/univ_lav_ps_barrels.html Apparently they only work with servo-bias wired microphones like my Sankens. Hopefully I'm interpreting this correctly! Thanks! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobie690 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 OK, now I really answered my question in this thread: Looks like my first search wasn't good enough, and the answer--universal wiring--was there all along! <INSERT NEW GUY EYE ROLL HERE> 🤪 Thanks!
