The pin 3 hot issue would not cause an unbalance. The only thing it does is inverts the input.All passive ribbons need a huge amount of gain, and most typical preamps only provide about 55 dB of it. I've got some preamps that can do up to 80 dB of gain and a setting of 60 or above reveals the noise floor of the preamp. I tend to reserve my ribbon use for loud sources like guitar cabs and horns miked at a couple of feet. This allows me to use less gain, and the signal masks the noise that is there.
Follow Ups:
Hi, Again, "T-J"As I suspected! I really had visions of recording chamber music with a pair of these ribbon microphones but never ever suspected that I would have encountered this much of a noise problem.
I still think that correcting the pinout on inputs / outputs of my MX-10 mixer would not hurt at all.
Well, perhaps I need to return to using my Milab VIP-50's or otherwise, continue recording with the MBHO 603's, which I like very much.
The allure of the B&O pair was certaining an option, though!
