Techflexing Schoeps KC5 Cables

(1/2) > >>

dactylus:
For those of you that have techflexed Schoeps KC5 cables can you tell me if this size techflex will work for a pair of KC5 active cables? 

.25 Techflex Petco (Techflex PTN0.25) worked great for a pair of Milab VM44-Link cables but the KC5 cables are a larger diameter than the Milab cables.

.38 Techflex Petco (Techflex PTNO.38) is the next largest size available for this type of techflex:  https://www.techflex.com/prod_pet.asp

Naiant produced a pair of 60V Schoeps KC5 PFA's for me and I want to use it with the KC5 cables that I picked up.  I want to remove the CMC6 ends of the KC5's and replace those "amplifier body connector ends" with 3 pin, mini-xlr connectors that will attach to the Naiant PFA. 

I will retain the CMC6 connectors for future use if ever pick up a set of CMC6 bodies and want to utilize them.

thanks,

David

that is exactly what has been done to my KC5's but for use with a naiant tinybox via a dual mini xlr > 6 pin mini xlr adapter cable built by Naiant.

im interested to know about the techflex sizes as well, i plan to do it to a set of unmod'd KC5's soon.

Whatever you end up using, Dactylus, I highly recommend a small piece of this rubber, stretchy tape that molds into itself for a waterproof, airtight seal, at the ends of the kc5's Techflex, to hold it snugly in place! ;) I just take a small 1"-2" piece of the rubber tape, and then stretch the hell out of it by pulling from each end. And its easily removable if you need to remove it!

Thanks for the suggestion Bean.  Darktrain techflexed my Milab VM-44 Link cables for me and he will be doing my KC5 cables too.

Dustin,

I'll let you know on the techflex size that works for the KC5's.
