Each connector has it's pros and cons..I rather like the EN3 connector and it seems to hold up well over time..the xlr 4 and 5 has known issues. 

I am working with followinbob and I must say this guy is serious about his business..he came to my house last week with a schoeps capsule end that he made from scratch including the nylon insert and we tested it to be a working setup...He is working on the akg and gefell ends as well..I know there is plenty of doubt due to all the whistle dicks in the past that have been preaching about it being nearly done only to have it sputter out.. I'm here to tell you that this IS happening..not a matter of if but when..stay tuned!!

Dude...What do you have a guilty conscious?  Nobody called "you" a whistle dick, I was referring to guys that came and went...we are doing this to fill the demand..its obvious that you have no interest in building cables..I don't want no beef with you and if anything our efforts will likely help your cause as well..Good Day!!

i said no worries jon. i like the n box. i am sorry if i offended you. let's all get along. i am doing the projects with my time and my money. by what has been written in public i almost threw the pieces in the scrap bin at one point. everyone is an expert here. just trying to do something cool here.
the origional post was to feel out the need.  thank you to all who sent me pm's and posts just saying "i am in".
at 100.00 an hour + the material you can imagine how much the first pair would be worth.

Definite TS pr0n!

Personally, I'm 2s away from selling my AKGs because I find my 3 Zigmas to be different but just as good sounding as them. The 3Zs win on form factor, they're much more compact. I don't 007 much, but I do envy the ease of setup that actives provide. I hold off on selling because I'm a true believer, I hoped Jon would figure it out in a way that he could make a few bucks. I loaned caps to it goes to eleven in hopes that he would/will do the same. If followinbob rolls this out, I'll be happy. FWIW, I'll probably buy a Tinybox to pair with AKG actives, I'd love to be able to carry my whole rig in a fanny pack!

just curious,  why the breakaway at the capsule end?  I think hard wire is the way to go?  Thoughts?

Yes, I only wish I'd given you better measurements 

What would it take to rig those collettes up with a Tinybox and two sections of cable, one six feet and an extension at 9 feet? I understand this is not in the cards right now from Naiant, but that's the way I would have wanted it.


edit to add: It looks like elevens collettes are hard wired. I remember the biggest gripe about my collettes was they were not machined for use with kwon bars. I don't use kwon bars.
