TIN CAN MIC, OR OTHER SHIELDING CONTAINER
If you are making the ZDL Tin Can Mic, you should be reading our Instructable from this point on.
When the entire Cortado is installed inside a grounded shielding container, like a tin can or garbage
pail or steel sculpture, it does not require additional shielding.
1. Solder the piezo disc wires to the PCB. Use a multimeter/continuity tester to identify the wire
attached to the brass part of the disc, and solder this to the hole labeled PZ1 on the PCB (84).
Solder the wire attached to the white ceramic part of the disc to PZ2.

2. Solder the XLR cable to the PCB (85). The red goes to XLR3. The white wire goes to XLR2. The
copper shield wire goes to XLR1.
