Thanks for your reply Mr. Mark.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, it’s not exactly what I was searching for: IR360 needs no less than 4 channels-sweep (anyway I could record the sweep 2 times: one for L-R, and the other for Ls-Rs).
So… yes, probably it’s the best available thing.

Ahah poker flavour in the family morning ☺ Anyway you are right: it’s a good idea!

Thank you so much!

Sincerely I didn’t hear something particular after having powered both the channel. I simply noticed a “noticeable” difference between the sensibility of one capsule on the other (i.e. when 48v was on both cha., right capsule captured a bit louder than left capsule).

Perhaps it’s better to move this last question into a new dedicated topic…

Gentlemen, I’m afraid of having damaged a mic…
I’ve bought the Audio-Techina BP4025 mic that’s a stereo X/Y mic with a 5pin-to-2x3pin cable. I connected the mic to the stereo-recorder with the two 3pin-XLR (Left and Right channels) and I gave 48v phantom to BOTH the channels (so the mic itself received 2x 48v). Later I discovered that giving the 48v just to one single channel (i.e. left) was enough to power both the channels as well. So arrived my doubt: Is it possible that I have damaged the mic giving 48v to BOTH channel? Or not?
Thanks a lot.

Amazing wisdom!
Thank you so much for your help!
You are a great guru Mr. Crowley!

Thanks (as always) for your reply and help, Mr. Crowley.
I must admit that mic cable is an unknow world for me: I’ve read various forums about different quality cables and the names were Vovox, Mogami, Klotz, Sommer. But each brand has various types of cables for various features (shielded, unshielded, double-shielded, etc.)
First of all I can’t make the cable by myself, I have to buy it pre-made, and the types that I can easily order (in Italy) are the following:
– Vovox link protect S200;
– Sommer Cable Albedo Micro Cable;
– Mogami 2534 Neglex Quad cable + Neutrik NC3 XX-B;
– Mogami 3080 + Eminence E303 & E304;
– Mogami MGAES0300BL;
– Klotz M5.

1. Short question: which is the best cable for noise rejection and shielding?

2. Long question: in THIS image you can see a list of detailed infos about the cable. Can someone of you kindly (and patiently) explain to me the main infos to understand why a cable is better then another one?

Thanks a lot.
