ta5f line hookup (servo and non servo)

[alidav]

is there any differences in line wiring for servo and non servo lectrosonics transmitters?

[Derek H]

Not for line level

[Eric Toline]

Aside from the line level audio going to Pin 5 instead of Pin 3 for mic level there is no difference.

as i found on another discussion, this picture is the way to go?

[Eric Toline]

For the TA5F it is. The TA 3 could also represent an XLRF and the wiring is the same. Note that the ground pin 1 is jumped to 3 in the TA3 are tied together making this an unbalanced connection. Follow Lectro's wiring and you'll be fine.

I had problems with 2 diffrent servo wired lavs. So now my lavs are universally wired.

[Derek H]

That has nothing to do with line input wiring.

you mean the 7 one? https://www.lectrosonics.com/Support/Microphone-Wiring/uhf-transmitter-5-pin-input-jack-wiring.html ?

 

pin 1 and 3 are jumped together also. 

what confuses me is that the wiring, in any case, doesn't seem to be balanced.
pin 2 (hot ) goes on 5 and pin 3 (cold) goes always jumped to the ground (pin 1) so at end we have a sort of 2 wire connections, like the sennheisers evolutions.

eric this is a your answer given in another discussion,  and is more clear to me.
since i am going from the x1-x2 on sound devices 664/688
 

"From what connection on the 788 to Lectro TX line in? If the output on the 788 is a balanced connection then it's pin 1 to pin one for the ground. Pin 2 on the the TA3 to pin 5 on the TA5 for line in. Pin 3 on the TA3 goes to pin 3 on the TA5 for line level.

The ta3 to 5 pin for line level unbalanced.. The ta3 just needs earth and pin 2 leave pin 3 floating ..this is in SD manual applies to all TA3 outputs on SD devices Ta3 is electronically balanced if unbalancing only use pin 1 and pin 2 leave pin 3 floating TA3 only..

Richard is right. Also Lectro body pack transmitters do not have balanced inputs. Mic or line.
