Is it possible to get a pic and explanation of one of your harnesses. I also couldn't tell how the mic itself was being wired. Thanks! Also, it seems that you have left a couple parts out.

They run about $200 though. This is an example of one. http://www.juicedlink.com/index_files/CX_camcorder_XLR_microphone_adapter_audio_mixers.htm Thanks for the comment. Hi Luke,

Im building a pair right now and its great!! Instead of a metal file you should use a Dremel Tool. It's a lot faster and works a lot better Great Idea!! Im building a pair right now and its great!!

Then from the DI Box to the camera? I have several of these mics, and a DI box. Would it work if I used a 1/4″ jack to the mic, and then ran that to a DI box? Then from the DI Box to the camera?
