AKG ck1x > Tiny Box Set Up
« on: September 24, 2010, 04:32:43 AM »
After several weeks of planning and procuring the right parts, I finally got all the pieces put together for a low profile akg rig.  Going to give them a test run this weekend at the Black Mountain Fall Festival.  Not a "stealth" situation, but I want to test these out before the real deal on 10/10 for Primus in Boston.

These caps don't require P48 to run properly?

12volt.  The mk46 cable has electronics in the connector to the c460b bodies that converts the 48v to 12v.

you were able to find the lemo connectors for the cables or did you hack an old pair of cables?

Nice Ted! I'm real excited about this. So it's a standard 12V TB? Put me down for a pair of 12 foot cables. :)

Great Job Ted!

Nice that you kept it close to the vest with no "in progress" thread, then you just showed the finished article.

Ted,

Just out of curiosity, are you suggested that you will have to  >:D for Primus?  My impression has been that they are open as long as Gogol Bordello aren't in the mix... no?

If the ck1x can still be found with any regularity this rig could give the CMR team a serious run for their money (at a heck of a lot lower price).

My understanding being that that is a big "if", though.
