Partyline: How do I rewire a CC-95 headset for use with an RTS BP-325 beltpack with a 5-pin male XLR?
Question: I have some spare CC-95 headsets that I want to use with RTS BP-325 headsets, but the headsets have 4-pin female XLR connectors. How do I rewire these headsets to 5-pin male XLR connectors? Is a wiring diagram available?
Answer: To rewire the headsets to 5-pin male XLRs use the wiring diagram shown below. Leave pin 5 on the XLR open as the RTS BP-325 supports both Left ear and Right ear headset outputs, simply wire the CC-95 headset to the left ear output only (pin 4). Do not jumper pin 4 to pin 5, this will load down the headset output and cause the beltpack to draw more current than necessary.
