1. Plug the mini XLR connector on the micro-
phone cable all the way into one of the two mini
XLR sockets on the B 29, the mini XLR socket
on the connecting cable of the MPA II, or the
input socket on the bodypack transmitter.
The connector will lock automatically.
2. Connect the B 29 or MPA II to the desired
input.
This version is identical to the C 420 L except that
it uses a screw-in mini jack plug that you can
connect directly to the old versions of the B 29,
MPA II, or AKG bodypack transmitters. (Refer to
the instruction manual of the unit you are using.)
The optional B 29 battery supply allows you to
connect two microphones to a common balanced
or unbalanced input in order to save on mixer
inputs.
The optional MPA II phantom power adapter lets
you connect the C 420 to any phantom power
source or XLR input with 9 to 52 V phantom power.
For phantom powering the C 420 L and C 420
B/lock with MPA II we recommend the optional
N 62 E or N 66 E AC power supply or the B 18 bat-
tery supply (also optional) from AKG.
Using any power supply other than those
recommended by AKG may damage your
microphone and will void the warranty.
