Frequently asked questions
Can I use the MDA7 LEC as a replacement for a regular microphone cable?
No. The MDA7 LEC is an adapter connector designed specifically to convert Lectrosonics wireless receiver outputs to XLR format. It is not a cable and cannot replace the CS3 EC 005 for general microphone or audio source connections.
Do I need the MDA7 LEC if I don't use Lectrosonics wireless equipment?
No. The MDA7 LEC has no function without a Lectrosonics wireless receiver. If you're using standard microphones, instruments, or other wired audio sources, you need a standard cable like the CS3 EC 005.
Why would I need both products?
You might need both if you use a Lectrosonics wireless system for some performances and also need a separate 5-meter cable for wired microphones or other audio sources in the same setup or different venues.
Which product is better for a beginner home recording setup?
The CS3 EC 005 is the right choice for home recording. The MDA7 LEC serves a specialized wireless-to-wired conversion purpose and is only useful if you already own Lectrosonics wireless equipment.
