Talkback Connection

The two female 5 pin XLR connectors let you plug in two headsets, which allows two people to
communicate via talkback simultaneously. For example, the camera operator’s headset can be
plugged into the first XLR connector, and a crane operator or fellow crew member, such as a
sound operator, could plug into the second XLR headset connector. A pinout diagram for the
headset XLR connector is included below.

The intercom mic input supports
electret condenser mics and
dynamic mics, which can be
balanced or unbalanced. Pin 1 is
the mic signal common, and pin
2 is the mic signal input for both
types. With electret mics, a DC
bias supply is also output via the
same mic signal input pin.
