TECHNICAL DATA
The MCA5X adapts Lectrosonics headset or lavalier microphones equipped with a 5-pin plug to work with Lectrosonics plug-on transmitters, including Digital Hybrid
(400 Series), 200 Series and 100 Series transmitters.
Made with a rugged nickel-plated steel housing, the
MCA5X two inches long and .75 inches in diameter.
Note: The MCA5X ONLY works with lectrosonics
UH and HM transmitters. It DOES NOT work
when connected to a microphone input on a
mixer or a recorder.
• Adapts Lectrosonics headset and lavalier
microphones equipped with 5-pin (TA5F)
plugs to work with Lectrosonics plug-on UH
and HM transmitters.
• Converts 4.5 Volt phantom power provided
by plug-on transmitter to DC bias
voltage needed by Lectrosonics electret
microphones.
• Internal Zener Diode protects microphone
from greater than 6 Volt phantom power on
XLR jack.
