Hi, I'm new to this forum and wondering if someone could help me out with a technical question...I have an old Sony cardioid electret condenser mic (ECM-95S) that came with a two-track reel to reel tape recorder. It's the kind that has two plugs on the end of a hard-wired cable. One is 1/8 inch, and the other is a little smaller. I know one is for audio and the other is for the phantom power, but I want to re-wire it with an xlr, so I can power it from my TubeMP mic pre. Could someone tell me if this is possible, and what the pin layout would be? I have no idea if this mic would even sound "good", but it might add an interesting flavor or something, and would be worth the effort to me if I knew it could work. I anxiously await your advice.

Thanks!
Jeremy
