Nope

I bought two of these, and then discovered that they did not work with my Tram microphones. I'm sending them back.

Works as expected

This adapter works as expected. It's a little expensive for what it is but that seems to be the same with all Lectrisonics brand equipment. I use it with my UH400A for interviews. Overall I'm satisfied with the mic and this adapter.

question

I want to use a couple of Lectrosonics M-150 lavs as hard-wired backups to my normal gear. The stated compatible models are: Lectrosonics HM, UH400 and UH400a. M-150 uses a 5 pin female TA5 so will it also work with this adapter?
Asked by: Clive
The MCA5X will work with all Lectrosonics mics wired with a 5 pin female (TA5) connector, however it is designed for use with their Plug On transmitters only. It will NOT work when connected to a microphone input on a mixer or a recorder.

question

What adapter do I need to connect to a Zoom H4n?
Asked by: Gabriel R.
Hi Gabriel,I think you need to be much more specific. So you want to connect something to an H4N - but what exactly do you want to connect to it?Howard
