Input Jack Wiring for Different Sources

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.

Compatible Wiring for Both Servo Bias Inputs and Earlier Transmitters:

Simple Wiring - Can ONLY be used with 
Servo Bias Inputs:

Servo Bias was introduced in 2005 and all trans-

mitters with 5-pin inputs have been built with this 

feature since 2007.

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 

click on Accessories, or download the master catalog.

A lot of information regarding microphone wiring is also 

available in the FAQ section of the web site at:

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).
