*bizump*So the polarization and powering leads are shared across both caps? I only see 1 +60v (58 in the diagram) wire, so either I've read it wrong or it's sending polarizing voltage down just one wire for 2 caps to share.
Which brings my my actual question; what's the box at the split
do? I'm assuming that it does something other then just connect the 2 cap wires in a stress resistant manner, as schoeps says that usage of the aki cables to go from the bodies to the binder plug evidently causes the operation to mimic the +5db bodies. Otherwise if the box didn't do anything special what would prevent someone from taking KC5 cables, splitting them, puting lemos connecting them, and creating their own extendable KC5s(ala
this), and then using the pin-out from the VMS for an adaptor cable with 2 lemos (using the 4-pin CMC pin-out) on one end and a 5-pin binder (with shared polarization/powering) on the other, thus creating a set of (bastardized) kcy and kc5 cables in a single set without having to buy the aki cables?
