Topic: Proper Source

yup, youre right. i didn't even think about the one exception (the ever famour NBOX)

but aren't the actives, just kcy's with a different connector (lemosax or something like that connector)

I'm pretty sure they are KC5 cables terminated into one connector. I remember seeing KC5 on my set

they are not KC5 cables.
the Nbox actives are much thinner than the Schoeps active cables.
the cables terminate in a single locking 5 pin connector.

A quick search found this:

Hey, that's not just a picture of any old NBox . . . . that is MY NBox, mics and SBM-1.  Purdy, huh !!      I had that very picture set as my desktop for quite some time.

As you can see in the picture (and like Robert said), the NBox actives are much thinner than the Schoeps.

So . . . .  when I list the "Source," should I state "actives" or "active cables" or . . . . ?

They must only use the KC5 "Nextel grey connectors" and replace the cables all together, my "Nextel grey connector" said KC5.
