Thread Starter | Can anyone tell me how to wire a (3 pin) Tuchel to XLR cable for a Sennheiser MKH416t shotgun? A guy I know told me to reverse pins 2 and 3 on the tuchel connector, but I've heard elsewhere to reverse 1 and 2. I'm confused... help! ![]()

| I'm saying this purely from memory and without doing much research, but.... I believe the 416T is T-powered, and won't operate (directly) from phantom power. Don't try to make a straight tuchel-to-XLR adaptor, as you will probably fry your expensive mic. If you search the net, there are schematics out there for a phantom to T-power adaptor, which you can build into a short cable. Or, I think Sound Devices make an adaptor for purchase off-the-shelf. |

Thread Starter | Hi. Thanks for looking out - I already have a phantom-12v barrel adapter. Just have to figure out the wiring at this point... |

| The Tuchel is a DIN connector with a screw-lock. It's:- Pin 1 = + ve Pin 2 (the centre one) = screen Pin 3 = - ve
