Zaxcom IFB200 TA5 wiring sheet corrected

[Bax]

Hello everybody,

 

I'm a new comer to this forum and glad to make my first contribution.

 

I've been impressed from the quality and quantity of the informations going thru this site and

hope that this topic would help DIY users avoid my interrogations about phase issues i went thru

making my own 2xTA3F to TA5F inject cable feeding my Zaxcom IFB200.

 

So, despite the wiring diagram for the analog input presented on the manual (page20) of the Zaxcom IFB200 here is the one you should follow:

 

 

-  Pin2 of the Out of mixer XLR (or TA3) L goes to: Pin 2 of TA5F on IFB200

 

-  Pin3 of the Out of mixer XLR (or TA3) L goes to: Pin 3 of TA5F on IFB200

 

-  Pin2 of the Out of mixer XLR (or TA3) R goes to: Pin 4 of TA5F on IFB200

 

-  Pin3 of the Out of mixer XLR (or TA3) R goes to: Pin 5 of TA5F on IFB200

 

You will find an attach File of the page 20 of the Zaxcom IFB200 manual.

 

I posted my remark to the Zaxcom team a few days before...

They will do the necessary changes soon.

Here is the response:

 

 

The IFB100 is wired with hot going to pin 5 of the TA5 so it is correct in that manual.

In the IFB200 – we went with what is becoming the industry standard of pins 2 and 4 being hot – hence the error in the manual. I guess when the 200 manual was written there was some confusion with the wiring in the 100 manual.

I did check the QRX manual and that is indeed correct.

 

Also FYI the QRX, IFB 100 and IFB 200 has a option in the menu to reverse the phase of channel 2 – so essentially any cable you have can work without a phasing issue.
