Topic: Schoeps KCY cable

[tim in jersey]

So whats your rig look like Tim I take it you have a KCY cable as well?

Open: mk4/41/4v>kc5>cmc6>722

Still have AKG 480's w/ cards and hypers. Semi-retired.

Sometimes I'll throw a V3 in there, but overall, I like the pres in the 722 and it's so much easier to power and lighter.

Low-pro: mk4/41/4v>nbox>M10

Oh, and a pair of MC-012's w/ cards, hypers, omnis for taping in the rain.

Thats awesome. I plan on getting a single mk8 and a pair of mk22s and I'll be set for any situation

So was wondering, why do you own both the 4s and 4Vs? I know the 4v has that slight HF boost, and was wondering which capsule you liked better and used most often

Haven't had a chance to run the 4v's yet. I'll be using them mainly for the hat rig. I prefer the sound of the 4v's in a hat. I think they compensate for the fact that they are in a hat.

And the 4v's are a cinch to run in a hat. I've got a DIN Kwonbar and it fits perfectly in the hat.

I've always wondered how the 21H caps sound. If I was getting subcards, I'd consider those, but I'd also do 4Vs and standard mk41s (because the bass roll off is more linear) so I guess thats my value system.

I could sware there are some 90's phish tapes that 21H's where used or at least 21H/8 ms

That would be (.)(.)
I've thought of that setup a number of times.

There was a 12-31-99 recording with the mk8/mk21H.

I'm pretty sure I've got that. Its FOB isnt it?

[F.O.Bean]

If I can ever find my damn camera, I will snap some pics of my KCY>Lemosax setup

[F.O.Bean]

John Bell, you better post a pic of your new KCY setup in this thread, its only fitting

Is it possible to make KCY extensions (like the KS 10 I) (assuming you have the extendable KCY 250/0 Ig) using the following parts?

I have a kcy coming, and I'l love to have a few extensions at different lengths, i.e. 5', 15' and 30' depending on the situation. (like those times when you are able to score a front row balcony seat- but its all the way to the right...)

But the prices of the Schoeps cables, given the cost of the raw materials, seems (as usual) to be really high.

If so, anyone want to make me a few?

I actually just got a order to make a kcy extension(a first), i will have the binder parts friday and post the results/pics shortly after and since the binders are a 5 pin connection any good mini star quad should fit the bill(1 ground and 4 leads)

Yeah, that's tough.  That's why I love running full bodies.  I quit running actives in open situations years ago.  Easy cheap cabling, and balanced output with almost no worries about interference.

Even if you had the active cables, running them by all those people with their cellphones, texting away.... Hmm..

Yes it is possible.  You should be able to use a couple of different types of cable as well (schoeps 4 lead, canare star quad, mogami, etc)  I use similar cable to make tube mic cables.  If you want the black binders I think you have to buy them from Schoeps at 2x the binder-usa cost (binder only sells binder connectors with metal sleeves (not painted black)).
