MFJ-393 

Deluxe Headset Microphone  

 

Thank you for purchasing the MFJ-393 Deluxe Headset Microphone.  The MFJ-

393 microphone has an electret condenser microphone element.  This microphone 
element requires a DC power source from 1V to 9V (3V standard operating voltage) 
in order to function properly.  Some transceivers have dc power available on one of 
the microphone pins and this can be used to power the microphone. 
 

You may purchase an optional adaptor cable from MFJ or you can make one of 

your own from the information provided in this manual.  The MFJ microphone 
adaptor cable available assumes that your transceiver has a pin out configuration that 
matches one that is shown in the chart in this manual.  If your transceiver does not 
have this pin out configuration you cannot use the MFJ microphone adaptor cable 
and you must make one of your own to match your transceiver microphone pin-out.  
Note that if your transceiver does not have a suitable DC power source present on the 
microphone connector, you must supply an external DC voltage from 1V to 9V (3V 
standard operating voltage) to the microphone element.  The MFJ-393 microphone 
will not function without a DC supply voltage to the microphone element. 

 

Caution: Do not apply dc directly to the microphone element.  This may 
damage the element.  A resistor must be added in series with the dc supply 
(suggested value 3.3k

to 10k

). 

 

The white 3.5mm stereo plug for the microphone is wired as follows: 

 

 
 
 

The black 3.5mm stereo plug for the headset audio is wired as follows:
