Short (1ft) MALE Right-Angle to Female XLR Cables?

Hubert Duijzer · September 17th, 2008, 10:44 AM

I'm from the Netherlands, so i think it's a lot cheaper to search on your side of the water.
But i got it from Audible Audio :: Leveren van Audio Engineerings diensten

The shockmount is a Rode SM-5, it comes with a thin and a thicker end. I cut the thin end off, looks better and saves weight.

I guess I should have seen the "Netherlands" reference in your profile. :-) Thanks for the info on the SM-5. I just took a look at it on the B&H web site and I think it'll do what I need. Thanks again!

Igot a few of the 1 foot right angle XLR cables from B&H a few years ago,I guess they don't carry the 1 footers anymore. You might try Full Compass dot com in Wisconsin they've taken real good care of me. Get the phone number from the web site and call though as their website isn't really all that easy to navigate (at least in my opinion).

Are you sure it was a 1 footer and with a right angle XLR Male? What they sell and have been selling for the longest time is the 1.5 footer with a right angle XLR Female.

Don Bloom · September 18th, 2008, 07:29 AM

My bad. You're right. 1.5 foot with afemale right angle. Sorry.
I got them some years ago and they looked like 1 footers plus I didn't see the need for the right angle male in the post. :-(
Gotta read closer from now on.

Anyway Full Compass should be able to help you out.

If you call B&H they can get it for you. Their item# is RECAXJ12RTMF and is a 1 footer with the new Neutrik right angle on both ends for $29.95 or item# is RECAXJCOIL2R and is a 1.5 footer COILED with the new Neutrik right angle on both ends for $37.95

It is not on their site.

James Harring · September 21st, 2008, 01:53 PM

i had a situation where BHPhoto didn't stock the neutrik XLR I needed (5 pin angled XLR), but I found it at markertek.com Stocked starquad cable too in custom length.

Marty,

Just to let you know, I called B&H a couple of weeks back and ordered the RECAXJ12RTMF and it arrived yesterday. Thanks for the info.

Another quick question along the same lines, but this time about the actual wire used in XLR cables:

Is the wire a 2-conductor wire *surrounded* by a braided shield (like coax cable), or a 2-conductor wire with a separate braided shield "wire"?

Just thought I'd add a post for future UK users:

I ordered my 30cm (actually wishing I'd ordered 40cm now... might be a little tight if I use it in CH2) from Sound & Lighting Hire in Edinburgh Glasgow Scotland The Warehouse for just under 18 quid including VAT and postage.

Someone from Cadence Cable Systems - Pro Audio Cables called me back when I'd left a message requesting my cable but I didn't speak to them as I'd already ordered but they may also supply them.

That is all.

On the subject of this post, I am looking for a simple XLR male to XLR female (Angled) pass through connector (no cable) just the connector. I can't find any of these online either - Anyone have any ideas? - thx

Don Bloom · March 31st, 2010, 08:30 AM

try this.

XLR to XLR Adapters Adapters, Adapter Cables, Splitters Accessories & Parts & Hardware from Full Compass

You should be able to find what you need there.

"XLR male to XLR female (Angled) pass through connector."
I do not recall ever seeing one in my 30+ years in music & audio.
That does not mean they don't exist..

Brian P. Reynolds · April 1st, 2010, 03:37 PM

I know it has been mentioned before but make your own.... If you intend to keep doing what your doing over the comming years it will cost you a fortune in custom made cables.
Spend a little money now and learn how to solder....

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this as I earn a good portion of my income from doing EXACTLY that, making custom cables and other things for local video production guys in Adeaide, South Australia.
But if you need some ...contact me ;)

Rick Reineke · April 1st, 2010, 05:27 PM

I think what Rich Perry was looking for is a one-piece right-angle pass though XLR adapter. Making or buying a cable with a right-angle XLR connector(s) would probably be better anyway since there would be less weight on the connection.
