Title: Right-Angle Schoeps KCY Active Cable
Post by: todd e on May 28, 2025, 03:31:57 PM
I had been meaning to ask for custom cable build for years, but just never got around it and it always meant my bag was wonky while i provided stress relief. 
Anyways, thanks to a nudge from a few other KCY'ers - Ted chopped a 3' section off and added appropriate connectors.
 
This way I can leave the VMS02ib in the bag cabled up, and then just attach the upper part of the KCY as I'm setting up.

Huge thanks to Ted, went above and beyond to make sure I was asking for the right thing. 
This is the MAIN REASON I employee folks from ts.com, cause I'm busy and can easily overlook shit

Exceptional work Ted!

I was a little confused at first because the KCY isn't shown in the pics, right?  The cable that's shown and was chopped looks like either the KS 5I (5 meters long) or the KS 10I (10 meters long) which is the extension for the KCY.

I had same cable, but only a few inches long when I use to run a VMS 5U!

sorry, there is an additional piece with the schoeps gray y box, and the collettes.
i have a few different length options to connect, and I think the one I had chopped was the 10 meter long one.
