Anyone ever use these cables? I’m curious to know how that small xlr works and if I can buy just those parts somewhere. Or is DPA the only one making these?

I have two pairs of these.  One pair is actually very short, terminated on the other end with mini-XLRs, with a couple of pairs of extension cables of various lengths. They only extend a few millimeters past the end of the mic body.  They can be kind of a bitch to unplug, though, because there is not much to grab on to.  As far as I know, they are a proprietary product of DPA.

I think DPA might have discontinued these cables.  I can't find them on their website anymore...
