Interfacing; General; Pinout; Connecting The Microphone - AKG PERCEPTION 170 Mode D'emploi

3 Interfacing

3.1 General

The microphone uses a true condenser trans-
ducer designed for 48-volt phantom powering to
DIN 45 596/IEC 268-15. Neither the diaphragm nor
the backplate are permanently polarized, so the
microphone needs an external power supply.

3.2 Pinout

The microphone provides a balanced output on a 3-
pin male XLR connector:
Pin 1: ground
Pin 2: hot
Pin 3: cold

a balanced XLR input with phantom power.
2. Switch the phantom power on. (Refer to the user
manual of the unit to which you connected your
