Trey LaCroix Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hey guys, I switch between Lectro and Zax/Shure fairly often and have my lavs wired with a microdot connector so I can switch connectors as needed. Occasionally the connector will come loose, particularly for ankle rigs for some reason, and need tightening throughout the day. Any tips for securing the connector more securely?

Spin360 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 That's strange, I've never had a microdot adapter loosen. Although I've discovered old versions with lemo adapter have an o ring and new ones don't. Maybe it has something to do with this and you have old microdot lemo adapters that are missing the o ring?

Lucas Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 you could try wrapping some ptfe thread seal tape around the outside of the connector. It can be relatively easily removed and leaves no residue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesound Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 PTFE thread seal tape is a good idea, as long as the threads don’t have to conduct electricity.… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shastapete Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 21 minutes ago, thesound said: PTFE thread seal tape is a good idea, as long as the threads don’t have to conduct electricity.… The threads are the mic ground, so probably not a good idea Maybe a tiny dab of loctite purple (lowest strength) would work… but I’d test that on a mic and adapter that you don’t mind glueing if it is too strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
