Microphone wiring in wall
Posted: Fri May 01, 2009 1:06 am
I have built a DIY studio in my basement and have a control room and performance room with xlr wiring between the two. If I connect a standard microphone to the xlr jack in the performance room, then from the xlr jack in the control room to the mixing board, everything works fine - crystal clear sound. However, using a condenser mic connected in the same manner (with phamtom power on mixer), I cannot get a signal. If I connect the condenser mic directly to the mixer, it works fine. So I have kind of ruled out the mixer as being the problem. It's a Behringer Xenyx 1832FX btw.
Is there something with the xlr pin-out in the wall I should have done differently or possibly another problem that could be causing the issue. I am using a 6 Female XLR plate in both rooms. Any help is greatly appreciated.
