amplifier referring to the appropriate instruction manual or by ear.

wish to connect other microphones from AKG or other manufacturers
to the PT 40, please note that you may have to rewire the existing
connector of your microphone or replace it with a 3-pin mini XLR
connector.
Audio input (20) pinout:
Pin 1: shield
Pin 2: audio (inphase)
Pin 3: audio
A positive supply voltage of 3.8 V for condenser microphones is
