The Shure ADX5BP-TA3 is a backplate for the ADX5D and is designed to accommodate power input from an external source, audio output for the receiver, and optional interfacing with compatible battery sleds. The panel includes a 4-pin connector for mating with the battery sled, two TA3 (mini 3-pin XLR) audio output connectors, a 4-pin locking Hirose power input connector, and captive Phillips-head screws to mount/unmount the rear panel.
When connected, output 1 can be configured for analog or AES3 output in the device menu. Analog output 2 is disabled when AES3 is selected.
One of the major advantages of the slot-in wireless receiver form factor is that they can be configured for multiple applications, including insertion into a camera or multi-coupler device, or for standalone use where power is provided by a battery distribution system (BDS) or battery sled. The ADX5BP-TA3 Backplate provides stand-alone connectivity for the Axient Digital ADX5D into professional broadcast cameras, multi-coupler devices, and battery distribution systems (BDS). It includes a 4-pin connector for mating with a Shure battery sled, two TA3 (mini 3-pin XLR) audio output connectors, and a 4-pin locking Hirose power input connector. Captive Phillips-head screws provide simple installation to the ADX5D. Providing two channels of audio output, ADX5BP-TA3 Output 1 and 2 are both analog. However, Output 1 can be configured for digital AES3 output in the device menu (analog Output 2 is disabled when AES3 is selected).
Since the receiver doesn't need to mate with an external device while being used with the standalone rear panel, a spacer plate is not required or included with the rear panel.
Connecting a Power Supply
Connect a compatible 6-18V power supply to the power input.
CAUTION: Always attach backplate to receiver before connecting power supply.
