10 MICROPHONE ATTACHMENT
There are several versions of microphones available for use with the radio. Each has a 17-pin connector
that mates with the mic connector on the front panel of the control head. The mic’s connector includes a
captive thumbscrew that secures it to the mic connector on the front panel of the control head. A
microphone clip is included with each microphone. The radio can be configured to provide a monitor
function when the microphone is cradled in the clip. Connect the mic to the control head and install the
clip as follows:
1. Position the mic’s connector just in front of the control head’s mic connector so its male pins can
engage straight into the female (socket) pins of the control head’s mic connector. The thumbscrew
must be oriented directly below
the hanging mic cable.
2. Mate the two connectors by pressing them fully together. Do not apply any force to the thumbscrew
when mating the connectors.
3. Tighten the thumbscrew securely. Do not over-tighten it.
4. Using the microphone clip as a template, drill mounting holes in the surface of the selected location.
5. Select a mounting surface location that has clearance for the mic when it is clipped to the clip, and
then attach the microphone clip to the surface. Use self-locking hardware (i.e., machine screws with
washers and locking nuts), self-drilling screws, or other appropriate hardware as necessary. Tighten
securely. The microphones have integrated hookswitches. Therefore, the microphone clip does not
require grounding.
6. Clip the microphone to the clip.
