I know this is really a question for Jon, but I thought I would see first if anyone is actually using this setup. I've been wanting a lowpro setup for my Schoeps for awhile but haven't pulled the trigger on any of the existing solutions (KC5s, NBox, CMR) for a variety of reasons, the main one being each has something about it that I don't particularly like.
I believe I saw a thread here that indicated that a littlebox and/or the forthcoming 48V tinybox could properly power some mk capsules via the KCY cable. This would solve for everything I'm looking for, including:
- no bodies
- no 9V batts to carry
- full 48
- smallest size (smaller than CMR for the mics, and smaller than the Schoeps VMS boxes for the pre)
If this hasn't been done before, I'd assume Jon would need either the cables or the schematic for them; I don't own them, and I don't see a schematic here:
http://www.schoeps.de/en/products/kcy/overview I'd be happy to buy the cables first and send them out, but again, if someone else has already implemented this, I'd be curious to hear how it's going.
