I'm looking to make some adaptors for my AKG mics and I need to find the connectors. They are Amphenol C091A or C091D 12-pin connectors, I believe. Anybody have a pair of male and female connectors of this type they'd want to sell me? Thanks.
-
I did find a source for these connectors. Allied Electronics sells them, as well as Digi-Key. Both the 12-pin C091A and C091D will fit the mics. The "D" version is watertight and costs a few bucks more. Since I don't plan on using my mics under water, the "A" connectors should do. From Allied, they cost about $21 each, plus tax & shipping.

Try a search on eBay. I just found a bunch for much less than the prices you quoted.

I searched eBay, but the only result I found for the 12-pin version of the connector was more expensive than from Allied. Do you have a link? Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I found the same items, and only this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/AMPHENOL-C091A-T-3636-002-NSFP-C091AT3636002-/220677560892?pt=BI_Control_Systems_PLCs&hash=item3361685a3c#ht_824wt_907 (http://cgi.ebay.com/AMPHENOL-C091A-T-3636-002-NSFP-C091AT3636002-/220677560892?pt=BI_Control_Systems_PLCs&hash=item3361685a3c#ht_824wt_907)
is the 12-pin connector. It is the same price (actually it's a bit more with shipping) as is available from Allied or Digi-Key.

Can you still get these connectors and build a cable? Or buy one new?

The connectors are available from Allied:
http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=2467210 (http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=2467210) Male
http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=2467211 (http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=2467211) Female
Even though these are 12-pin connectors, the MK 42/20 cable (used on the C34, C422, C424, and C426 B) uses only 9 pins. Here are how the various mics use those 9 pins:
C34: 7 pins = 1 gnd + 4 signal + 2 pattern switching
C422, C426 B: 8 pins = 1 gnd + 4 signal + 2 pattern switching + 1 LED
C424: 9 pins = 1 gnd + 8 signal
Finding thin and flexible 8 conductor + shield cable might be difficult. If you are only interested in building a cable for a C34 you can get away with a 6 conductors + shield. Such a cable will work with a C422 and C426 B if you don't care about using the LED.
The AKG MK 42/20 cable has been discontinued for some time. Perhaps there are NOS sources in Europe? Or, perhaps one of the custom cable builders around here could make you one. A problem with the MK 42/20 is that it's 20 m long, which is often way too long. So if you build a cable yourself you could make it a more reasonable length.

how about a set of star quad cables tec-flexed together?
-
Who can make one of these for me?
-
I had one made by a guy in Europe (the one who checked my mic and gave it a clean bill of health). It wasn't cheap, but the nuke quality is better than the original cable.
