Lectrosonics UM400a - Manual (Page 13)

Frequency Synthesized UHF Belt-Pack Transmitter
Rio Rancho, NM 13
2 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 2-WIRE ELECTRET
Simplified wiring for microphones
such as Countryman B6 Lavalier
and E6 Earset models and others.
NOTE: This servo bias wiring is not compatible with earlier
versions of Lectrosonics transmitters. Check with the factory
to confirm which models can use this wiring.
Compatible Wiring for Both Servo Bias Inputs and Earlier Transmitters:
Simple Wiring for Servo Bias Inputs Only:
4 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 3-WIRE ELECTRET
NOTE: This servo bias wiring is not compatible with earlier
versions of Lectrosonics transmitters. Check with the factory
to confirm which models can use this wiring.
Wiring Hookups for Different Sources
In addition to the microphone and line level wiring hook-
ups illustrated below, Lectrosonics makes a number of
cables and adapters for other situations such as con-
necting musical instruments (guitars, bass guitars, etc.)
to the transmitter. Visit www.lectrosonics.com and

2 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 2-WIRE ELECTRET
Compatible wiring for microphones such as
Countryman E6 headworn and B6 lavaliere.
4 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 2-WIRE ELECTRET
Most common type of wiring for lavaliere mics.
Fully compatible with 5-pin inputs on Lectrosonics
transmitters such as the LM and UM Series.

4 VOLT POSITIVE BIAS 3-WIRE ELECTRET
WITH EXTERNAL RESISTOR
This wiring is fully compatible with 5-pin inputs on Lectrosonics
transmitters such as the LM and UM Series. This is the wiring
for the Lectrosonics M152 lavaliere microphone.
Used for 3-wire lavaliere
microphones that require an
external resistor such as the
Sanken COS-11.

UNBALANCED LINE LEVEL SIGNALS
For signal levels up to 3V (+12 dBu) before limiting. Fully
compatible with 5-pin inputs on other Lectrosonics transmitters
such as the LM and UM Series. A 20k ohm resistor can be
inserted in series with Pin 5 for an additional 20 dB of
attenuation to handle up to 30V (+32 dBu).
BALANCED AND FLOATING LINE LEVEL SIGNALS
*NOTE: If the output is balanced but center
tapped to ground, such as on all Lectrosonics
receivers, do not connect Pin 3 of the XLR jack
to Pin 4 of the TA5F connector. TA5F
