Flex 8400M with Heil PR-781 or PR 40 adaptors

K1MIZ

Aloha
I have searched the interwebs, Youtubes and Reddits for the answer but have been unsuccessful in finding the exact answer I need for the Flex8000 series radio. Only for the 6000 series radio. I did try!

With that being said, I am looking to add a boom mic to the Flex8400M. I have read that the Heil PR40 and the Heil PR781 are good pair with this radio. I cant seem to find the exact adaptors i need for either of these mics. I have an HRO in my backyard so i would like to be able to grab and go. Can anyone tell me the exact adaptor i need for either of these two mics to pair up with the 8400M?

Thanks

For a 6400 / 8400 you will need an XLR to 1/8 inch TRS FULLY BALANCED cable.

Beware of some of the cheap stuff on eBay and other onlines stores. Many of the cables you see are made to connect to a computer, and are not wired properly.

Use Something like this:

Amazon.com: CableCreation (1/8 Inch 3.5mm to XLR Cable, Balanced XLR Female to 3.5mm Microphone Cable 3 Feet/0.9M, Black : Electronics

For a 6600 / 8600 you will need an XLR to 1/4 inch TRS Fully Balanced Cable,

Something like this:

Amazon.com: Cable Matters 6.35mm (1/4 Inch) TRS to XLR Cable - 6ft, Male to Female, XLR to 1/4 Cable : Musical Instruments
