Sennheiser MD21 HL (or HN) to Pleiades K117 to iPad

What an amazing mic.


Straight to a Sony TC-D5 Pro II a Pleiades filter of 100 to 200Hz was better for singing to reduce the voice effort effect of bass increase.


To iPad it went straight through the Pleiades K117 JFET preamplifier fitted inside the mini Tuchel connector to iPad's headphone mics input. The iPad 1/8 socket powered the Pleiades K117 as it normally does for electret condenser mics.


Sound was great.


Away from 0 degrees say at 45 degrees from the axis of the gave a nice high cut filter to compensate for the pressure doubling effect of High frequency exaggeration.


So almost portable. A top quality mic, a cable, and iPad mini or iPhone? Oops headphones too!


Signal path:


Sennheiser MD21 Hi Z (impedance) transformer stepped up output - Pleiades K117 (to get the most of the hi impedance as is done on condenser mics - iPad - GarageBand - HD580
