audiofp Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I want to run an NTG3 - PS-1A - Lectro LT for boom. Looking at Fig. 6 wiring guide, page 18 of LT manual, "LO-Z MICROPHONE LEVEL SIGNALS". Is this good or has anybody been thru this and done it differently?

John Blankenship Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Without looking at all the Lectrosonics wiring options to refresh my memory, that seems right to me. Whichever one it was, the Denecke worked well into a Lecto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Use the mic level wiring.. I believe its the mc35 cable. I use that configuration. Look on lectro website under audio cables. Find xlr to ta5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I stand corrected.. You want the MC41 pin out. This will do what you want perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofp Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Just received two stock Lectro MC41 cables and connected the NTG3, PS1A and Lectro LT. Both cables result in the same unusable noise floor- chatter, crackle over white noise. Yes there is a full bandwidth signal from the mic over the hash. Anyone experienced this?

audiofp Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I connected an SM81, same setup and it was fine. I remember the NTG needed a phase reverse barrel to work with an HM plug-on so perhaps it's related to that. Also Rode FAQ says: " Will the NTG-3 microphone work when connected to my wireless transmitter? There have been reports of compatibility issues with connecting the NTG-3 to a battery powered wireless transmitter such as the Lectrosonics UH400AAU. This is due to there not being enough power in the transmitter to power the mic. Most portable transmitters can only provide 4mA of current at 48V. The NTG3 requires at least 5mA.

But you're using a Deneke PS1A for phantom not the tx. So.... since the SM81 works fine, it would seem the mic is the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofp Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 That was my thought but the NTG3 works fine in the studio and hard wired to my 688. Looks like NTG3/PS1A compatibility problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofp Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 So l flipped the NTG3 cable phase and problem went away. NTG3 doesn't like portable 48v solutions. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofp Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Weird to this not too technical guy. No load voltage to ground is the same on both legs of the PS-1A. I don't understand the huge difference swapping phase. Oh well- it's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
