Is it possible to probe the microphone's pins and
by the impedance
or something find out if it is made for having a phantom power
supply ? I have a meter that I can put to good use.
If it's a dynamic mic then the resistance between pins 2 or 3
and pin 1 (= ground) should be 'infinite'. The resistance between
pins 2 and 3 should be low, and you should be able to hear 'clicks'
when measuring it while holding the mic to your ear. It should even
be able to produce some sound when connected to a headphone output,
but be careful when testing that.
