Autocom 3.5mm Mono Isolation Lead

The 4036 is suitable for an audio device that has one-way audio OUTPUT. The 4036 is not suitable to connect an older-type mono mobile phone.

A phone call requires two-way audio, and the 4036 passes audio only from the audio device, and not audio from the Autocom microphone to the device.

A practical way to connect a mono mobile phone is with the Autocom BTM-02A, Bluetooth Module.

• 2m (79") overall length
• 3.5mm (1/8") right angle, gold plated male plugs
• One piece molded construction insures simple, plug-and-play installation

When an monaural (non-stereo) audio device like an older GPS or most radar detectors and an Autocom hub are connected to a common motorcycle ground through different paths (ie. the power lead and the grounded audio lead that would connect the two audio device and the Autocom hub together), a ground loop will occur. Electrical currents will flow through these multiple paths and develop voltages which can cause damage to the Autocom or the audio device, as well as causing noise, hum or alternator whine.

To prevent ground loops, all audio signal grounds need to go to one common point, which is entirely impractical on a bike's audio system, since multiple devices are involved. If the Autocom was integrated with the audio device in a single unit, ground loops could be eliminated as part of the overall electrical design. Since multiple devices and multiple grounding points cannot be avoided, the audio signal grounds on one end must be isolated from the other.

The 4036 isolation lead will protect both the audio device, as well as the Autocom hub, and provide a noise-free audio signal into the Autocom headsets.

• Suitable for use with all current and previous generation Autocom communication hubs
• May be used with non-Autocom brand audio systems requiring ground loop isolation and 3.5mm (1/8") male plugs at both ends
