Control Head Front Panel Connections 

The control head contains the main power switch and microphone, speaker, Morse key and 

phone jacks. 

The following connectors/jacks are located in the control head: 

Microphone Connector 

The 

505DSP's 

microphone 

uses 

an 

8- 

pin 

DIN 

connector.  The 

microphone input impedance is 

approximately 

2000 

ohms.  The 

microphone amplifier will 

accommodate low- or medium- 

impedance dynamic microphones 
providing 

to 

20 

millivolts of 

output.  The microphone supplied 

with the 

505DSP 

is prewired. 

Wire your microphone according 
t o   Figure 

if using another brand 

of microphone. 

Paddle, Morse Key Input Jacks 

The PADDLE input jack allows 
Connection 

of a 

CW 

paddle (not 

supplied)  having 

two 

switches, a 

"dit" and a "dah."  The common 

wire 

is grounded.  Wire the paddle 

to 

one of the included 

3.5 

mm 

stereo phone plugs, connecting the 

tip to the right side of the key and 
the ring to the left.  The 

outer 

part 

of the jack is the switch common. 

Left-handed operators should use 

the same wiring Connection, then 

select "left-hand" from the 

CW 

menu, C W  Keyer Mode sub-menu 
in the control software. 

The Morse 

KEY 

input jack allows 

the separate Connection of a

3.5

stereo phone plug.  Select "straight" from the CW Keyer Mode sub-menu.  Note that the 
"straight" key May remain connected to the control head at the same time as  the paddle, but that 

the straight key is always "alive," in left-hand or right-hand iambic keyer modes.
