Hey, Is the headphone jack on the smt5600 a 2.5mm? I'm trying to get an adapter so that I can play music in my car using the tape adapter but the tape adapter uses the standered jack size.

Yes, it is 2.5mm. But it has a different pin than most 2.5mm headsets, and the standard 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor you find at Radio Shack won't work. I got mine on ebay specifically designed for the SMT5600. You could also search for a MPx200/MPx220/Treo 600 adaptor, they are all the same.

I don't know if that one will work or not, but I meant this kind. That is the kind I have, and it works.

If you look at each pic from each page that shows the connector closely you can see that they look to be exactly the same except for the gold coating. I'll look around a bit more just to see what’s out there but I’m 99.9% sure I’ll be getting it off eBay.

Smeg, I have a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter that I bought from eBay for my MPX200. It works great on the MPX200. However, when I tried to use it for my SMT5600, I can only hear mono over my car stereo and headphones. Do you think that it's due to my phone? Are there any other adapter's out there?

I'm not sure on that one. I've been using the one I bought on ebay for my MPx200 for years now, and it's worked great with most phones, including multiple SMT5600s. Maybe yours is slightly different from mine or something.

Smeg, I did some more research from this forum. The one I bought has three conductors on the jack. There was one post for a headphone adapter for SMT5600 selliing from PPC Techs has four conductors. How many conductors are on the phone jack you bought from eBay? The one showing from your link above has three only.

OK. After looking at some actual ones, here's what I've discovered. The one I bought from eBay for my Motorola actually has four conductors*, which only played mono on my Audiovox SMT5600. I borrowed a friend's Sony Ericsson earphone with mic that has four conductors, and that worked on my SMT5600. Thus, I think that an earphone adaptor with four conductors will not work on the SMT5600, but an an actual earphone with mic with four conductors do work.

I went to Radio Shack yesterday and saw an adaptor that has only three condutors and stereo worked. I'm getting the one Smeg recommended from eBay since that has three conductors too only to work as an earphone adaptor. If I need a stereo headphone with mic, I would have to get an actual headphone with mic with the four conductor plug, and not use an adaptor for it.

*Condutors mean the metal contact points on the plug, separated by the black plastic insulators. Four conductors are divided by three black insulators, three are divided by two, etc.

I knew I should have checked out this forum before ordering.....

I got a set of Sennheiser MM 50 (http://www.tmcnet.com/channels/headsets/articles/196-sennheiser-multi-purposes-mobile-headset.htm) ear bud earphones for my SMT 5600 and LOVE them. However, as pointed out here, the 2.5 mm mini plug is not standard (whatever that is wink.gif ) and only the right channel works. The earphones work in a friends Motorola phone (and they also do not work in my wifes SMT 5600). So obviously it is the plug. I have the original set of earphones that came with it (and are just about worthless in my opinion compared to the MM 50's) and I would gladly snip the plug off the end and use it for the MM 50's.

Does anyone have thoughts on this? The MM 50 is stereo with an in-line microphone and has a four conductor plug like the earphones that came with the phone.

Thanks!

Scott.

Hi Scott,

I'm not sure if switching the plugs between the MM 50 and the standard earphones will work. I think what's screwing it up is the plug and the mic channel. As I mentioned above, the Sony Ericcson earphones and mic worked on my SMT5600. Now, your MM 50 with earphones and mic do not work. Thus, the plugs my look the same, but their channels are different. Maybe the mic and the left earphone are reversed or something on the MM 50. Now, since you have the 2.5 plug already, the adaptor mentioned by Smeg above may not work.

Your last resort is to just return it, or experiment with the cheap standard earphones to find the right channel and which conductor is for the mic and for the earphones. Good luck.

Ron

i gave this item a try http://www.tangshop.com/audiovox-smt-5600-...daptor-mic.html but it turned out it doesn't work in stereo like they advertised. plus their customer service is an answering machine during the hours they're supposed to be open. not good practice on their part. sad.gif thinking about trying the one on ppctechs.
