Using the Sennheiser Ceiling Mic with the Phoenix Stingray
The Sennheiser Ceiling Microphone is powered by an external power supply and produces a line level
output. Therefore it should be connected to one of the Stingray’s Line Level input. Consequently, the Sting-
ray’s mixer should be assigned to the Line inputs. The default levels of the SL microphone are adequate
to the Stingray, and the Line Inputs of the Stingray have a xed gain structure. That means that no setting
needs to be done and the two product would work together ne out of the box.
Connecting the SL Mic:
The SL Mic has three connectors at its back – POWER, CONTROL, and AUDIO OUT.
1) Connect the supplied POWER cable to the microphone (4-Pin Black Connector).
2) Connect the supplied CONTROL Cable to the microphone (6-Pin Black Connector).
-When using with the Stingray, this cable is not used (Green Connector). The cable is required to be
connected to the microphone in order to turn on.
-Check Sennheiser’s Instructions on “How to Use Third Party Mixers” for additional details.
3) Connected the supplied AUDIO cable to the microphone (3-Pin Black Connector).
4) Remove grey 3-position connector from supplied AUDIO cable with screwdriver.

5) Push the wires from the grey 3-position connector into the Stingray Line Input connector.
-Stingray’s connector is a Push-In connection and no tools are required for installation. If removal of the
wire is required, insert a screwdriver into the rectangular hole above the wire to release.
