supply units or one Neumann N 48 i-2 mains power
supply unit (both units are fitted with a 3-pin XLR
connector) or one Neumann BS 48 i-2 battery power
supply unit (fitted with a 5-pin XLR connector). The
MZA 14 P48 battery power supply unit also allows
direct connection to unbalanced inputs.
Also suitable is the MZA MS-1 (available from
Sennheiser UK). This is a battery power supply, with
5-pin XLR input and output, that incorporates an
MS matrix amplifier and microphone pre-amplifier. The
unit enables an MS microphone to output left/right
stereo and incorporates a ch-2 phase-reverse switch,
bass roll-off and adjustable level and width controls.
Output level is switchable microphone or line.
The MKH 418 S is connected via a 5-pin XLR cable.
The connector of the MKH 418 S has standard pin

Pin 1 = Casing/ground
Pin 2 = M channel (+)
Pin 3 = M channel (-)
Pin 4 = S channel (+)
Pin 5 = S channel (-)
