Just my tuppenceworth.....but FYI ..I got OST TL40's for my Sony UTX-B40's and they were wired signal to sleeve, screen to tip (!) ..they hummed like hell. Dave at OST insisted that the wiring was correct...but it just didn't work. Eventually , the supplier of the wireless kit asked the Sony rep who supplied the wiring diagram for another two wire lav, a DPA....this suggested .signal to tip, screen to sleeve, 3k3 resistor between ring and tip. I tried it and it works just fine.

presumably any ipod / ipad needs to have the 4 pole 3.5mm jack socket to take in the TC,but... 1) What's the earliest gen of ipod that has the 4pole socket with mic in? I dont think my old 2nd gen ipod touch one does.....does a third gen touch have the 4 pole? Do all ipads have the 4 pole connector? 2)Even on my 2nd gen touch I'm pretty sure there is line audio in on pins 4&5 ( I think its4&5 ) on the dock connector on the bottom....is the Ambient or any other app smart enough to detect audio in ( and thus TC) from that source?
