ALTERNATE MICROPHONES AND INSTALLATION
For best results, the user should select a low-impedance dynamic type
microphone
or
a transistorized microphone. Transistorized type microphones
have a low
output
impedance characteristic. The microphones must be provided
with a four-lead cable. The audio conductor and its shielded lead comprise
two
of
the leads. The third lead
is
for transmit/receive control and the fourth lead
is
the speaker return lead which disables the speaker during transmit. The
microphone should provide the functions shown
in schematic below.

Cut leads so that they extend 7I16" beyond the plastic insulating jacket
of
the
microphone cable. (See Fig. 1.)
