FACTS ABOUT ELECTRET WIRING
Here are the technical descriptions of the two ways that an electret capsule and FET can be configured.
* When using a KA100 cable, substitute white for blue and brown for red.
All Sennheiser RF transmitters require the microphone to be wired in the amplifier or two-wire configuration.
Because of this, many Sennheiser microphones such as the MKE2-4 or ME104 are built with the blue wire and
shield tied together at the capsule. This results in the least amount of noise possible. These microphones can only
be used in the amplifier configuration.
Microphones such as the MKE2-5 can be wired in either configuration depending upon the application. A simple
continuity test between the shield and blue wire will indicate which configuration can be used.
In situations that require an electret microphone to be powered by 12 - 48V phantom powering, a special converter
circuit must be used. Sennheiser can provide a -PH adapter which is the converter circuit inside a special XLR
connector.
The following charts represent the wiring of standard Sennheiser stock items for use with competitive
transmit-ters.
