5 PIN XLR Removal/disconnect
Good afternoon,
im trying to figure out how to remove/disconnect the ‘5th’ pin. My company requires the 5th pin be disconnected for an XLR 5 pin.Can anyone shed any light?
Many thanks

It might be possible to have someone with a modicum of electronics tech skills to put together a male to female XLR-5 adapter with pin 5 not connected. So, no modification to the headset. But again, they would have to trust you to plug the adapter in line. If they didn't trust you to flip the battery switch ....

In the U.K. “Flightstore” (Other suppliers are probably available ) supply an XLR to 2 plug adaptor with pin 5 already disconnected. I’ve been using one of these on B737 for the last 15 years with a Telex 850 ANR headset which runs off the aircraft mic bias current.
Headset works fine, and four airlines I’ve worked for have been happy with it, all with the same requirement as yours.

I asked FlightStore the exact same question but they could only read what it said on the box. They past me on to the boss there and same thing they knew nothing about anything. In fact the first guy I’m not sure could actually read! Adams aviation will know
