Mini-jack female to TA5f Adapter

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

i'm currently making some adapters to use Sennheiser Evolution terminated mikes into Lectrosonic tx.

Yes i've RTFM ;-) of both lectro and senny and cabled as this:

SLEEVE and RING to pin one

TIP to pin three

Jumped pin 2 to pin 4

Pin 5 is unconnected

Now i'm noticing a huge drop in gain from the mikes... i need to crank the gain to maximum to get proper levels from my UM200C.

Can anyone please confirm that the pinout is correct?

As others confirmed the wiring is correct, as specified in lectro manuals as "2 WIRE ELECTRET MIC POSITIVE BIAS".

The adapter works fine.

 

I can now say the gain drop is supposedly coming from faulty mke2s connectors (sennheiser seem to have wired those mics differently over the years, 2 wires, 3 wires, etc). Other mics were not affected.
