Ray C Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hi - Would anyone here be able to fabricate (or point me to a source) a TA5 Male to locking 3.5mm 4" pigtail adapter (wired for Sennheiser)? I have a bunch of Lectro lavalieres that I would like to use with the Tascam DR10L recorder. Eric Toline (RIP) made these for me a few years ago, and my other usual sources are non-responsive. Attached are pics of the adapter Eric made. Any leads would be appreciated. Thx, Ray C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have one that (I believe) is made by Lectro. Maybe check their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieldH Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 1. The Hixman CA701 might work for you, though it is not a cable. You can buy it directly from hixman.com or from aliexpress. https://www.hixman.com/hixman-ca701-convert-adapter-for-lectrosonics-ta5f-to-sennheiser-audio2000s-3-5mm-plug-wireless-bodypack-transmitter 2. Then there is micronic from the UK. They also sell on ebay. I am not sure if I dislike them for some of their other products though, but that's only me. https://micronic.co.uk/collections/microphone-adapter/products/lectrosonics-ta5m-ta5f-5-pin-mini-xlr-microphone-adapter-for-body-pack-transmitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunAndGun Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Remote Audio. They built me several similar cables so that I could use my Lectro wired Sankens with the Tentacle Track E's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evarsimon Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Gotham Sound just made me a bunch of custom cables, have had good experiences with Gene Martin on custom cables as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at a few of them....lectro to 3.5 for track E as you stated, plus microdot to TA5 for dpa goosenecks and lectro TX. 1/3 the price of the dpa adapters, so wondering about actual field use an track record.

I do have a few cabled adapters from Hixman. On one, the molded female threaded TRS failed. I have not used any microdot adapters from them. I did use the "cheap" Shure MD40 Lemo witch is of much lower quality compared to the DPA equivalent and I don't recommend buying the MD40.
