Spectra mics
Can anyone tell me how to use an old motrac mic with a Spectra? Pinouts?
Re: Spectra mics
The Motorola mobile mics have been the same for many years as far as the microphone output, but the cord is different.
So you would need a mic cord from a Spectra to put on your older mic.

So are the colors the same? What do I do with the extra wires? Do they need to be hooked up too?

Re: Spectra mics
Out of curiosity, is there a reason that you wouldn't just use a Spectra mic?kitty wrote:Can anyone tell me how to use an old motrac mic with a Spectra? Pinouts?
Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that.
Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

Re: Spectra mics
Good question, I was wondering the same thing when Spectra markets are so readilly available on the used market for very little money. Certainly far less expensive than my time attempting to modify another mic to work!

Re: Spectra mics
The only reason I can think of is that the Motrac and Micor mics were avalible in colors, Red, yellow, dark green.
Re: Spectra mics
Actually I want to be able to extend the mic away from the head. Yes Spectra mics are easy to find, I have many. I also like to be able to use one of my dark blue mics.
