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.

types. With electret mics, a DC

same mic signal input pin.
