RPSharman Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I have bought a 2nd CUB-01 and have added the TA5 breakaway to my 1st CUB-01. Do people have success/failure with using their CUBs with either the Lectro SM or 400 transmitters? Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Palmer Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Success. It's the only way I use them. I've got two. They did have to be re-wired for the new SMa and 400a input configuration. You'll know if it's right as soon as you hear it. ~pwp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Trew Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Success. The most sure-fire car rig I've found. There was an issue with the CUB when used with the Lectro MM (waterproof) transmitter, but my CUBs work with my UM400 and SMA transmitters just fine.

stacysound Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Do you guys have hum problems when you use the CUB with the Ambient 48V adapter for hardwire? I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabi Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I just got in touch with Ambient about the wiring scheme for the Cub 01 to work with both the Ambient Eumel adapter and the lectro transmitters (servo bias and older models). Here is their reply: "Regarding the CUB-01: you might just follow the instructions given in the pdf you sent me, it says it is compatible with other transmitters. But it seems to be old, pre-SMa or, more precisely, bias-select circuit. If you look at the pdf I'm sending you, it says that bias will be 4 V if there is a bridge from pin 2 to 4, with pin 4 open it is only 2 V, which is good for a B6, but not enough for a Sanken, and the pdf you sent me says there are 5 V bias without the bridge! I would wire it differently: Pin 1 = shield white to pin 1 over a 1 K resistor Bridge pin 2 to 4 Pin 3 = black like a Cos-11 , please see last page of the pdf I'm sending you. Generally, I would only use the wirings that are given under "Works with Servo Bias Inputs and Earlier Transmitters:" 4 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 3-WIRE ELECTRET WITH EXTERNAL RESISTOR otherwise it will not work on UM400 and UM400a. Please note that the 3-wire hook-ups are not compatible between older and newer Lectros! Else, I had no problems hooking up CUB-01 the same way as COS-11 If you got more questions maybe Klaus would be the technically more competent person. best regards Sebastian Fell Ambient Recording GmbH Schleissheimerstr. 181c DE 80797 Muenchen The pdf he sent me is the pdf from Lectro with the full compatibility scheme for both servo bias and old transmitters. And the pdf I sent him was the wiring scheme from the lectro FAQ # 73, which he believes to be wrong. From the FAQ section of the Lectro Site: http://www.lectrosonics.com/faq/faq1byref.php?id=73 I intend to buy the Cub 01 pigtail and the Ambient Eumel adapter for TA5F connectors but I am not sure which way to wire it. I have no idea as to how the Cub would behave with the lectro transmitter with this wiring that the Ambient guys sugested. Anyone else using the Cub-lectro-Ambient combo? Sorry if the post is a little bit confusing but my english is not so good. Gabi Cunha Brazil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
