Step 2 — Audio Connection
The Venture-Base is designed to accommodate
almost any type and level of audio source.
Microphone
Almost any 600 Ohm dynamic or self-powered
condenser microphone can be plugged into the
balanced XLR connector. When doing so, set
the input select switch to MIC. An unbalanced
microphone may be used with a suitable
adapter. However, Gentner Communications
recommends that a balanced microphone be
used to eliminate noise pickup.
Line Input
The line input is most commonly used when
connecting the Venture-Base to a sound system
amplifier or mixer (Figure 4, below).
If the source has a low impedance, balanced
output (auxiliary, tape, etc.), use the XLR
connector.
If a 10 kOhm unbalanced line or tape output is
available (usually an RCA jack), use a suitable
cable to connect this output to the RCA line
input on the transmitter. After, set the input
select switch to the proper position.
If you have a tape recorder or other device
already connected to the line out, a Y cable
(See Figure 5, below.) may be used to split the
signal between the transmitter and the tape
recorder. This type of adapter is generally
available at electronic supply stores.
