INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The enclosed adapter is one of the following three types.
Model No. Connector Type
MD-XLR4M 4-Pin Male XLR
MD-XLR4F 4-Pin Female XLR
MD-XLR5F 5-Pin Female XLR
The adapter is used with various types of headsets that have a dynamic microphone and an
XLR connector which mates with one of the connector types shown above. Use the adapter to
connect the headset to your HME Beltpac as follows.
• Plug the mini-DIN connector at one end of the adapter into your Beltpac.
• Plug the headset connector into the other end of the adapter.
• The current version of MD-XLR adapters has up to 12dB more MIC GAIN than
previous versions. The current version can be identified by a blue sleeve.
Earlier versions have either a black sleeve or no sleeve at all.
• Use the enclosed clothing clips to
fasten the adapter and headset
cables to your belt or clothing.
Position the adapter as far from
the Beltpac as possible. Figure 2
shows the suggested position,
which helps to avoid loose-
hanging cables and interference
from the Beltpac.
