[Harp-L] Re: Turner Dynamic element

[Paul Routledge <kingley@xxxxxxx>]

I tried that already and had no output at all.
The element is from a CD/BD/Challenger, the version without a fin.  
There is normally a transformer inside the shell of these mics,  
however in this case it's missing.
Maybe I'll stick a CR/CM in there instead. Although I would like to  
hear what the original element sounds like, if I can get it to work.

If your dynamic Turner is anything like mine (a 253), it's a low-Z  
element and the mic itself was wired as such, hence the lack of  
transformer. Try wiring it for that and use an inline transformer  
adapter if you just want to see if it works. I'm not smart enough  
about the specs of the element itself to recommend a proper  
transformer, but I'm sure someone else here can.

    I tried wiring the element up as I would a CR/CM and got no  
output at all. Does this mean that the element is dead?

    If not, is there somewhere I can get a replacement transformer  
from (I'm in the UK)
    Or any other way of making it work?
