An Accessory Designed for Stereo Setups in the Range
This adapter cable was designed to accompany specific stereo microphones (MSTC 64 Ug in ORTF, KFM 6 and KFM 360 in microphone sphere, CMXY 4V Ug in XY) to ensure coherent and practical connectivity during stereophonic recordings.
Who and For What Uses?
Ideal for sound engineers, sound recordists, and studios seeking reliable and quick-to-deploy cabling, especially in classical recording, ambience, field recording, broadcast, or live capture, where stereo must remain simple to set up and secure.
Flexibility in Stereo Cabling
The combination of this adapter cable with its reverse type (AK 2U / SU: 2x XLR-3F / XLR-5M) and an XLR-5 extension cable allows, in stereophonic sound recording, to work with a single connection cable up to the stereo setup, for a cleaner and faster configuration.
