CDM 1250 mic

Post by JDL sporting »

Could someone answer a question for me? I have a brand new spectra mic which i would like to use on my CDM 1250 is it a matter of just cutting off the spectra plug and adding a RG45 5 PIN connector, or does that mic have different wiring.

thanks

I wouldn't ruin the Spectra mic. They are starting to be hard to locate at times. The CDM mic is a much more common mic to be had. There should be a bunch of them around. Have you tried asking your local radio shop if they have any? In many cases, they might just give it to you.

Jim, the spectra mics are still available through Mother /\/\, since they're a carryover from the XTL W series. But of course their price point isn't as attractive as a used unit. But they're still available nonetheless

Remove the cord and strain relief from the CDM mic and put it on the Spectra mic. Save the Spectra mic cord.i
