Does a balanced 6.5mm mic. socket exist?

[Russell Griffiths]

Greetings.

Radio Parts sell the following P.A.

PA935 35WATT PA AMP INTERM

They claim it has a balanced 6.5mm jack.

I thought only a 3 pin XLR jack would be balanced.

Could the 6.5mm jack be a 3 terminal stereo type,
I have never seen a mic. with a stereo plug.

If the jack is really unbalancd, how should I connect
a balanced mic. with a XLR plug?

"balanced" refers to the signal, not the jack. You could twist the wires
together and it would still be balanced.

Balanced 6.5mm sockets are common on some sound desks and some audio
equipment. e.g. the Sennheiser ew100 series radio receivers use stereo
6.5mm sockets as its balanced output - you've gotta go the model above
for balanced XLR. Plug in a standard mono lead and it'll become an
unbalanced output.

If the jack is really unbalancd, how should I connect
a balanced mic. with a XLR plug?

I can't remember which is which on the TRS, but basically you just
connect the gnd, cold, and hot wires to the three TRS terminals.
