Does anyone have the wiring for the CM500 to connect to the K2? Or
just the pin-out for the CM500 stereo connector?

It's the mic connector I'm asking about. This is probably a dumb
question, but it's only the second mic I've ever owned in about 45 years of hamming!

Connect the "tip" of the CM500 mic connector to the mic input pin of the K2, connect the "ring" of the CM500 mic connector to the +DC pin on the K2 mic connector through a resistor of about 5K (value not critical), and connect the "shell" of the CM500 mic connector to the shell of the K2 mic connector. Two ways to do this. For both you need to buy an 8-pin connector. Method 1) Cut the connector off the CM500, strip the wires and identify which color goes to which pin. Strip the wires from the headset and wire them to the 8-pin connector. Method 2) Don't cut any wires. Buy a female 1/8-inch jack from Full Compass (a very good pro audio vendor in Madison, WI) and make an adapter. http://www.fullcompass.com/product/339102.html You'll pay $1.30 for one connector and about $8 to ship it. :) That's silly, of course, but it's how life is. So instead of buying only one connector, think about other connectors you need and stock up. I did this about two weeks ago and bought ten each of four types of hard to find connectors. I strongly recommend method 2. You'll find that this mic and headphones work really well on a computer, and on the K3. For these uses, you need no adapter at all -- they plug straight in. Note that I haven't identified which pins on the K2 connector are which -- that depends on how you wired it when you built it, so check the K2 manual and your build notes for that detail. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
