Wiring Hookups for Different Sources

In addition to the microphone and line level wiring hook-
ups illustrated below, Lectrosonics makes a number of
cables and adapters for other situations such as con-
necting musical instruments (guitars, bass guitars, etc.)
to the transmitter. Visit www.lectrosonics.com and
click on Accessories, or download the master catalog.
Compatible Wiring for Both Servo Bias Inputs and Earlier Transmitters:
Fig. 1
2 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 2-WIRE ELECTRET
Compatible wiring for microphones such as
Countryman E6 headworn and B6 lavaliere.
Fig. 2
4 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 2-WIRE ELECTRET
Most common type of wiring for
lavaliere mics.
WIRING FOR LECTROSONICS M152/5P
The M152 lavaliere microphone
has an internal resistor and can be
wired in a 2-wire configuration.
WHITE
This is the factory standard wiring.
Fig. 3 - DPA Microphones
DANISH PRO AUDIO MINIATURE MODELS
This wiring is for DPA lavalier
and headset microphones.
NOTE: The resistor value can range from 3k to 4 k ohms.
Same as DPA adapter DAD3056

2 VOLT NEGATIVE BIAS 2-WIRE ELECTRET
SHIELD
AUDIO
Compatible wiring for microphones
such as negative bias TRAM models.
NOTE: The resistor value can range from 2k to 4k ohms.

4 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 3-WIRE ELECTRET
WITH EXTERNAL RESISTOR
DRAIN (BIAS)
Also used for other 3-wire
lavaliere microphones that
require an external resistor.

XLR JACK
*NOTE: If the output is balanced but center
tapped to ground, such as on all Lectrosonics
receivers, do not connect Pin 3 of the XLR jack
to Pin 4 of the TA5F connector.

UNBALANCED LINE LEVEL SIGNALS
LINE LEVEL
RCA or 1/4" PLUG
For signal levels up to 3V (+12 dBu) before limiting. Fully
compatible with 5-pin inputs on other Lectrosonics transmitters
such as the LM and UM Series. A 20k ohm resistor can be
inserted in series with Pin 5 for an additional 20 dB of
attenuation to handle up to 30V (+32 dBu).
Simple Wiring - Can ONLY be used with
Servo Bias Inputs:
Servo Bias was introduced in 2005 and all trans-
mitters with 5-pin inputs have been built with this
feature since 2007.

NOTE: This servo bias wiring is not compatible with earlier
versions of Lectrosonics transmitters. Check with the factory
to confirm which models can use this wiring.

2 VOLT NEGATIVE BIAS 2-WIRE ELECTRET
Simplified wiring for microphones such as negative bias TRAM.
NOTE: This servo bias wiring is not compatible with earlier
versions of Lectrosonics transmitters. Check with the factory
to confirm which models can use this wiring.
