General

The ZFR100 / ZFR200 has an unbalanced microphone input accessed through a 3-pin micro-LEMO connector.
You can use an unbalanced dynamic microphone or a powered lavaliere. It is recommended that you use 3-wire
lavalieres with separate pins for ground, audio and power.
When using a line-level input, an inline pad is required on the standard dynamic microphone input cable (XLR-3 to
3-pin micro-LEMO).
When using a phantom powered microphone with the ZFR100 / ZFR200, you must use an external 48 VDC
power supply.
NOTE: Once upon a time, the Denecke 48V power supply could damage the now discontinued Goldline
transmitter‟s preamp. This is NOT the case with the ZFR100 / ZFR200.
