Clippy EM272 Wiring to XLR

[Retropixie]

Hi everyone,
I have bought a pair of EM272 with a 3.5 stereo plug ( https://micbooster.com/clippy-and-plug ... results=29) . It works great with my Zoom h4n, but i now upgrade to Zoom F3, and this one need XLRs.

My plan is to redo the wiring and connect each of the two EM272 to an XLR plug, like this product (https://micbooster.com/clippy-and-plugg ... results=29), but i have no idea where each cable should go on the XLR plug. I just know the EM272 needs phantom power, so the connection needs to take that into consideration. I have read also in the description of the product that it have an internal resistor, so no need to solder one anywhere i guess.

Can someone give me some guidance for nail the wiring please ? A schematic or drawing might help, as i'm a complete beginner on DIY wiring.

Hi Retropixie,
the Clippy XLR plugs contain the required electronics to reduce the 12-48 Volt Phantom to 8 Volts to power the capsule, also to balance the signal to feed the preamp input.
Considerably more complicated than a resistor or two and not a simple DIY job.

edit: from the website,

“Our own unique electronic design provides a regulated 8 volts to the capsule whether the unit is powered from 12, 24 or 48 volt phantom”

“Balancing electronics inside the XLR plug”

Right, this sounds more complicated to DIY . Is there still a way ? I would feel sorry to buy a new pair from the website and let the other one take dust.

If you uncertain about your DIY skills, then a ready made solution may be a safer option...

Thanks a lot for the replies, and the links. I'll try to figure something out with those ressources, and in worse case i can try to resell it.
