Build a Microphone Polarity Tester


Posted on Jun 12, 2012

Many things can go wrong in a modern recording studio, but few are as difficult to track down as reversed microphone polarity. When a microphone is placed in front of a sound source, a positive pressure on its diaphragm caused by forward-moving air results in a positive voltage on one of its output pins and a negative voltage on the other. But which pin is positive? These days most microphones have XLR output connectors, with Pin 2 used for the positive voltage output and Pin 3 for the negative.
