Choosing the Right Bodymics Connector for Your Transmitter
The connector is the #1 thing to get right. Each brand of wireless transmitter uses its own plug and wires its pins differently, so a Bodymic must be ordered for your exact transmitter. A plug that physically fits isn't proof that the mic will work.
Step 1: Find your transmitter model
Look on the back of the bodypack or inside the battery door for the brand and model number (for example "SLXD1" or "EW-D SK"). Also look at the jack on top of the pack.
Step 2: Match it
| Transmitter | Connector | Bodymics version |
|---|---|---|
| Shure SLX-D / SLX-D+ (SLXD1), QLX-D (QLXD1), ULX-D (ULXD1), GLX-D (GLXD1), BLX (BLX1) | TA4F (4-pin mini XLR with locking tab) | Bodymics for Shure |
| Sennheiser EW-DX SK, EW-D SK, evolution wireless G4 and G3 (SK 100 / 300 / 500) | 3.5 mm locking (screw-on collar) | Bodymics for Sennheiser |
| Sennheiser XS Wireless, AVX, SpeechLine | Same plug size, but confirm first | Send us the model before ordering |
| Sennheiser EW-DX SK 3-PIN, Digital 6000 | 3-pin connector | Not the standard Sennheiser version. Ask us about options |
| AKG, Audio-Technica, MiPro, Creative Audio | Varies by brand and model family | Versions are available for these brands. Send us your model to confirm the right one |

Important
- Not all transmitters from one manufacturer are wired the same. Audio-Technica, for example, has used different connectors across product generations. Always confirm the model, not just the brand.
- A mic made for Sennheiser won't work on a Shure pack, and vice versa. We don't recommend using adapters between brands; order the Bodymic wired for the transmitter you'll use.
- "Any 3.5 mm mic should fit, right?" Not quite. A plain 3.5 mm plug may go in, but without the locking collar it can work loose, and a mic wired for another brand can sound thin or not work at all.
- Mixed brands? Each Bodymic is wired for one brand. Order the matching version for each transmitter brand you own.
- Brand not listed (for example a budget or online-only brand)? We may not have tested that transmitter, so we can't confirm compatibility without the exact model. Send it to us before ordering.
