Reslo microphone lead converter

musicalstash

Hi does anyone know where I can source a converter for a old  reslo microphone.

I have seem a few original ones sold on reverb but at a £100 would be out of my price range especially as I do not know if the mic is working.

Also not too sure if the lead has been modded as it runs to one output then back out  again into another. 

Any cheap options out there?

Your best option would be to remove the connector at the other end of the cable from the mic, and replace it with an XLR. Or talk to Stewart at Xaudia.

Thanks , could not work out if a standard XLR would be a direct replacement or even which of the outputs to replace.

Will drop Xaudia an email .
thanks again

I've got a few bits of these, but you probably don't need anything to check the mic works. The connector with the three solid pins goes to the mic - remove the one with two hollow pins and fit an XLR. The cable should have two cores and a screen, the screen goes to pin 1 of the XLR and the cores to 2 and 3, it doesn't matter which way round. Check the continuity in the cable, since the cable retention is poor in the plugs and they can get twisted and broken or shorted quite easily.

Thanks, ordered a xlr connector and will update once wired up
