Maybe some of the older rigs don't provide the +4 volts on a
seperate pin (pin 4) as the Omni VI Plus does. On the 705 Mic, the
+4 volts from pin 4 is connected to the Mic input through a 22k
Ohm resistor internally to the Mic. If you don't connect up pin 4
there is no voltage. So, to use a mic that doesn't want to see any
voltage why wouldn't one just not connect anything to pin 4?
Please straighten me out.
