When wearing a CVC See CSC.  helmet and plugging into the AN/VIS-3 communications system In telecommunication, a communications system is a collection of individual communications networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and data terminal equipment (DTE) usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole. , one end of the microphone cord plugs into the front voicemitter socket of your mask. But some folks aren't sure where the other end goes.

Here's where the confusion comes in. The microphone cord plug, JJ-055, has two sockets. But the receptacle in the CVC helmet has three pins!

Here's the scoop: Use that receptacle to plug in the microphone cord, but only use the first two pins. The third pin provides DC power to electrical microphones, which your mask mike isn't. Your microphone is dynamic, which means it requires no electrical power.

So--plug it in and don't worry about the third pin!
