Some mics require RF protection to keep the radio sig-

nal from affecting the capsule, even though the trans-

mitter input circuitry is already RF bypassed.
If the mic is wired as directed, and you are having diffi-

culty with level, high noise, or poor frequency response;

RF is likely to be the cause.
The best RF protection is accomplished by installing RF

bypass capacitors at the mic capsule. If this is not pos-

sible, or if you are still having problems, capacitors can

be installed on the mic wires inside the TA5F connector

housing.
Install the capacitors as follows: Use 330 pF capaci-

tors. Capacitors are available from Lectrosonics. Please

specify the part number for the desired lead style.

Leaded capacitors:

P/N 15117

Leadless capacitors: P/N SCC330P
All Lectrosonics lavaliere mics are already bypassed

and do not need any additional capacitors installed for

proper operation.
