Quote from: JasonSobel on June 27, 2008, 06:08:09 AMI guess the real question is, compared to the cable end + Senn "mic body", how much shorter would an XLR plug actually be? Maybe we could get a photo with the active cable end + mic body right next to a standard neutrik XLR? thanks.in theory it would be half the size (lets assume the body is the same size as a xlr connector)because as it is now (good idea for the flexablility though) you have the body and need interconnectsif you didn't need interconnects you would have half the amount of space being used (actually more because like 1/3 with interconnects you have 2 ends)

thanks for the pics. While the mic body + active cable end are certainly very comparable to a standard XLR, it sure would be nice to have a custom, hacked, shorty XLR connector on the end of those cable But in all seriousness, I probably wouldn't hack into cables like that. It certainly is very small as is.
Well - I got my MKH 8040 Stereoset today with a pair each of the Rycote INV-2 and INV-3 shockmounts (so I can use them with or without remote cables).The Nagra VI should arrive in the next couple of days.Then it's off to the Whitley Bay International Jazz Festival for the weekend with the hope of some very nice recordings.

How much did the shocks run you?
