The CAY-MX5 is a 5m XLR male to XLR female cable that is perfect for connecting an XLR microphone to a camera that has an XLR input, for setups where the camera is more than 40 cms away from the microphone and audio source.The XLR pins are connected 1 on 1 for maximum compatibility with camera’s and microphones.

 

HOW TO USE THE CAY-MX5

The setup example can be imagined featuring the Canon XF100, a professional camcorder with built in XLR inputs, and an RØDE NTG-4, that can be connected via the Peppercable CAY-MX5. The Canon XF100 is one of many camera's that contains at least one XLR input to record audio from a external microphone. Because this camcorder supports 48v Phantom power, it supports all XLR microphones, both condensor- and dynamic microphones from the RØDE NTG-1 that requires phantom power to the RØDE NTG4+ that can be powered by AA batteries inside the mic to the RØDE Reporter microphone or the RØDE M1.
