Request: TA5 male to locking 3.5mm pigtail adapter for Sennheiser

[Ray C]

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.

I have one that (I believe) is made by Lectro. Maybe check their website.

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.

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.

Remote Audio.  They built me several similar cables so that I could use my Lectro wired Sankens with the Tentacle Track E's.

Gotham Sound just made me a bunch of custom cables, have had good experiences with Gene Martin on custom cables as well.

Hey, have you actually used the hixman adapters by the way?  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.
