  • Approx. 15cm long
Wired to suit Yaesu FT-817, FT-818, FT-857, FT-891, FT-897 (including D and ND models) FT-450, FT-900, FT-991, FT-dx10, FT-710 etc

For use with microphones & headsets designed to connect to a PC sound card microphone input and fitted with a 3.5mm stereo (TRS) jack plug. The adapter cable not only connects the audio, but also provides the 5V DC supply required by PC electret (condenser) microphones, sourced from the radio's microphone socket. Simply connect the 3.5mm microphone plug to the corresponding socket on the adapter. If you have a PTT hand or foot switch, connect it to the ¼" jack socket, or use VOX if you prefer. For headsets, just connect the headphones to your radio in the normal way. Wiring diagrams are included so you can use this adapter with almost any 2 pin or 3 pin electret microphone element which will work off a 5V DC supply.

Use any of these with your transceiver:

  • Sleek lightweight open headsets
  • Studio style condenser PC type microphones
  • Sturdy full headphones with boom microphones
  • Comfortable top-end gaming headsets
  • Tie-clip electret microphones for mobile use
The 3.5mm socket is wired to suit the majority of PC microphones. We have tested a range of PC microphones and headsets. Although some cheaper models can give excellent results, we recommend well-known brands such as Logitech or Yamaha which consistently produce good reports. Some (mainly very cheap) microphones may not work. Re-wiring the 3.5mm plug on the microphone will usually rectify this and details are provided. We have also found that many of the cheap microphones do not use screened (shielded) cable and pick up a lot of hum or RF.

Because of the presence of the DC supply voltage, this adapter should not be used for dynamic microphones like the Heil Proset. We also sell the correct adapters for Heil headsets, cables for dynamic studio microphones, foot & hand PTT switches and many other useful items.

This adapter is for the microphone and PTT connections only. Additional adapters may be required for headphones. Not for USB headsets or microphones.
