Hi, could you inform me what connector I need for :

Microphone Lavallier Sony ECM-88BC wired with Hirose 4 pin (SMC9-4P type: Sony Product Detail Page ECM88B (http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-audio/cat-wiredmics/product-ECM88B/) ) TO BE CONNECTED TO Sony UTX-B2 Belt-pack Transmitter (from UWP-V6/67 package: Sony : UWP-V6/67 (UWPV6/67) : Technical Specifications : United Kingdom (http://www.sony.co.uk/biz/product/anawirelesspkgportable/uwp-v6-67/technicalspecs) ) with 3-pole locking mini-plug ?

Does the Sony EC-1.5BX Microphone Cable ( Sony : EC-1.5BX (EC1.5BX) : Product Overview : Belgium (http://www.sony.be/biz/lang/en/be/product/anawirelesspkgaccs/ec-1.5bx/overview) // or US version Sony EC15BX Sony Product Detail Page EC15BX (http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-audio/cat-audioaccessories/product-EC15BX/) ) adapt correctly in terms of power requirements when connecting the Sony ECM-88BC to my Sony DC-78 Power Supply Unit ( Sony Product Detail Page DC78 (http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-audio/cat-audioaccessories/product-DC78/) ) ?

Many thanks in advance,

-- Do you want to use the mic with two different transmitters?
If so, you would need a custom built adapter cable. I'm not aware of any OTS adapters of this type.

Does the Sony EC-1.5BX Microphone Cable ( Sony : EC-1.5BX (EC1.5BX) : Product Overview : Belgium // or US version Sony EC15BX Sony Product Detail Page EC15BX ) adapt correctly in terms of power requirements when connecting the Sony ECM-88BC to my Sony DC-78 Power Supply Unit ( Sony Product Detail Page DC78 ) ?
-- I'm not clear on what you wish to accomplish. Do you want to plug the mic directly into a camera or audio recorder with a 3.5mm audio input jack?
If that's the case, the devices 3.5mm audio input would likily have plug-in power, which could be a problem. Another custom adapter cable may be better, taking advantage of the devices plug-in power.
