hardwiring a lav mic?
I have no idea where to post this, since there doesn’t seem to be a pro sound category. I have some cheap Nady wireless lav mics, that I am running into an HVX200 standard DV. I can’t afford better mics right now so I have to make do with that I have. I am getting some dropouts and want to know if I can hardwire the lav to my camera XLR input, preamp or mixing board.
I went to a Music store and everything we tried didn’t work. basically they tried to run a 1/8 inch mono to stereo adapter into a 1/8″ stereo to XLR (high to low impedance) It didn’t work.
Would I be able to get a mono 1/8 phone plug and wire it to a Male XLR plug from Radio Shack?
I know I won’t have the third line going to the XLR from the 1/8 inch plug, but is there a way to wire this to make it work?

I would have thought that would work, unsure why it doesn’t.
This is an audio COW forum, you’ll probably get better answers there…

How much billable time did you waste going to music stores to try stuff out ?
