Schoeps KCY cable

[noahbickart]

I actually just got a order to make a kcy extension(a first), i will have the binder parts friday and post the results/pics shortly after and since the binders are a 5 pin connection any good mini star quad should fit the bill(1 ground and 4 leads)

Any idea on Price?

and

I suppose there is an easy enough way to test this, but how close to a kcy does a cell phone have to be to cause audible problems? Schoeps suggests a 20 meter maximum length for these kinds of cables...

The cables are shielded so this should help with Cell phone interference but since they are not balanced this goes against longer cable runs.

BTW - You can order a KS cable of any length from Schoeps directly it's just a custom order.

For a non-Schoeps cable, the binder ends are about $10 (from binder-usa.com) a piece and the cable is about $1-$2 (from markertek.com, or full compass) per foot if you wanted to make it yourself.

I know I could have gone the Vark route, but I'm VERY HAPPY overall purchasing the "real deal" KCY, and it was DEF worth the 4 week wait Just makes me feel better/safer if something goes wrong with it or I want to resell(doubtful)

I have been thinking of getting a 5 meter KS extension so I have 30ft of cable to play with for when I want my gear somewhere far from my mics

I ordered the 20' extension that Robb refered to for that very reason.

Me Beaner, I am making one and if it works out good(which there is no reason it shouldn't), I think I got a couple other orders in the wings already.

Awesome Robb. Well then I'll just buy it from you if it works out

I got my 20' KCY extension cable from Darktrain today!!  Did some home testing and it works and looks great.  It is super light wieght, small, and gives me about 36' of cable with my KCY and the extension.

Anybody have a wiring diagram for the junction box?

[jbell]

I'm curious too!!  I was wondering if one of our resident cable builders (Ted/Rob) could build a KCY.  I wouldn't mind having one built with thinner cable like Belden 1804a or AT starquad.  Seems like the Colettes would be the only thing to order from Scheops.
