Sennheiser AMBEO Mic Wiring Diagram
I was recently asked to make some custom cables for the Sennheiser AMBEO. It uses custom cables with some funky 12-pin Amphenol connectors, namely model T3635 (male) and T3636 (female). After a bit of rummaging, I wasn't able to find an existing pin diagram for wiring, so if it's of use to anyone... here you go! The lettering on those connectors is infinitesimally small.
| Channel | Wire | Pin | Color* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gnd | A | Shield |
| Pos (+) | J | Yellow | |
| Neg (-) | K | Green | |
| 2 | Gnd | C | Red, Lrg. |
| Pos (+) | B | Pink | |
| Neg (-) | L | Blue, Sm. | |
| 3 | Gnd | F | Blue, Lrg. |
| Pos (+) | D | Brown | |
| Neg (-) | E | White | |
| 4 | Gnd | H | Black, Lrg. |
| Pos (+) | G | Grey | |
| Neg (-) | M | Red, Sm. | |
| *Color based on stock cables! Always double-check. |
