Okay, so, silly question about the mic input on my flex-3000 (though I'm sure the question applies to logs of situations).
Normal unbalanced audio, you've got one wire going to mic+ and one wire going to mic-/signal ground (or possibly chassis ground to fix the 'pin 1' problem). The incoming audio signal is the differential between ground and the signal line. Ok, so that makes sense. With balanced audio, you've got two signal lines that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other, and a chassis ground. The incoming audio signal is... the differential between the two signal lines. So my question is, why can't I hook one of the balanced audio signal wires up to mic+, the other up to mic-, and the chassis ground to ground? Since the signalling is essentially the same (the radio shouldn't care if mic- is just a ground, or a more active signal), why wouldn't this work? It seems cleaner than the flex-suggested way of tying one of the balanced pins to ground and then tying mic- and chassis ground together... Someone fill me in? :) -jay _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
