Q: 1. Will my 5-pin XLR RTS headset work on laptop (both microphone and speaker) by using this connector?

A: Yes, the Point Source Audio ADP-5FxPH PSA Headset Adapter Cable 5-Pin Female XLR to 3.5mm Male TRRS (8") can be used to adapt 5-pin XLR connection headsets for compatibility with laptops and smartphones.

Q: 2. would phantom power from a cinema camera power this microphone unit or would you need mixer/recorder?

A: Yes, this will work with any pre-amp that supplies 12v - 48v. If your camera has the option to switch the Phantom down to 12v, you should do so and save a little battery life.

Q: 3. can this work with any microphone with TA4F connector or is it only for Point Source mics?

A: The Point Source Audio CON is meant for use with PSA microphones only. Results with other brands will vary as they may have different wiring schemes, even if the connector is the same.

Q: 4. Will these work with Ultimate Ears custom in-ears?

A: Based on the information that I am seeing the Point Source Audio CM-i5-4F is not compatible with Ultimate Ears custom in-ear monitors.

Q: 5. so this is the adapter needed for "DPA Microphones 4560 CORE Binaural Headset Microphone" when connecting to Zoom F3?

A: Since there are two Microdot output connectors on the DPA Microphones 4560 CORE Binaural Headset Microphone, two of the DPA Microphones DAD6001 Microdot to 3-Pin XLR Adapters are required to connect the DPA 4560 mic to the XLR inputs on the Zoom F3 Portable Field Recorder. You will need to turn on phantom power for the two inputs on the recorder for the mics to receive power.

Q: 6. Does this work with Riedel systems?

A: The Point Source Audio CM-i5-4F In-Ear Intercom Headset with Noise-Canceling Boom Mic (4-Pin XLR Female) does have similar connectivity to some Riedel headsets, however, as it is specified for Clear-Com, we recommend confirming compatibility with either manufacturer to fully confirm.

Q: 7. Can I use this with a Shure 47 or Sanken COS11D Lav that has a microdot connector? If not, what is the best solution, please. Thanks

A: Any microphone with the Microdot connector is expecting a DC bias level to bias the electret capsule. Normally the microdot connector of a bodypack will have approx 5 V DC bias. This DPA adapter is not just a simple resistive divider - it has a complete circuit board with biasing circuit and buffer amplifier to drive long mic cables. I measured 8 V open-circuit, and 2.5 V with my DPA 4066 headset connected. This leads me to believe that the final DC voltage level will depend on the bias current drawn by the specific brand/model of electret mic you connect to it (but it will never exceed 8 V). So, although I have not tested the particular models you mentioned, I believe that any microphone with a microdot connector can be used with this adapter without risk of damage. This is certainly a very nicely-made adapter with no expense spared on the circuit from what I can see.

Q: 8. Used with Sony camera to connect with clear-com's 5-pin headset How are the 5-pin and 4-pole TRRS arrays configured?

A: Thank you for your question. At this time the manufacturer does not have this specification available.

Q: 9. Do I need to run phantom power to this device in order to make it work?

A: Yes, it would need phantom power to power the lavaliers.

Q: 10. Will this work with a Countryman E6 to convert from Shure wireless to XLR wired?

A: Although designed by Shure for use with their Twinplex microphones, the Shure Wired TwinPlex Microphone Preamp with Belt Clip (TA4F to XLR) should work with other microphones such as the Countryman E6 that are wired with a TA4F connector.
