NOTE: This termination is intended for 

UHF transmitters and the MTCR only. 

VHF transmitters with 5-pin jacks require a 

different termination. Lectrosonics lavaliere 

microphones are terminated for compatibility 

with VHF and UHF transmitters, which is 

different from what is shown here.

Crimping to Shield and Insulation

Shield

Insulation

Strip and position the cable so that the clamp 

can be crimped to contact both the mic cable 

shield and the insulation. The shield contact 

reduces noise with some microphones and the 

insulation clamp increases ruggedness.

Crimp these 

fingers to 

contact the 

shield

Crimp these 

fingers to 

clamp the 

insulation

Timecode Jack Wiring

The timecode connection is made via a standard LEMO 

5-pin connector. Pin connections are as follows. Viewed 

from outside the connector.
