question

I bought this mic for use with me Sony URXP03 wireless transmitter and it isn't working. Did I get the right one?
Asked by: Robert
No this one wont work with the Sony ones its unfortunate because the plug is exactly the same. I made the same mistake the first time around. You need the one that is for Sony, not the one for Senheiser. They are not swappable. You should be able to send it back easily. BH was good with me about that.
