Customer Requirement
A customer needed custom XLR cables for a Sennheiser MKH 418 S stereo shotgun microphone mounted on a Ronin gimbal.
The main requirement was a thin, soft and flexible cable with low-profile right-angle XLR connectors to fit the compact gimbal setup.
The customer also requested a matching 3-pin XLR version for another audio connection.

After reviewing the connector requirements, cable construction and wiring, we produced two custom cables:
5-Pin XLR Cable

Why This C![]()
onfiguration?
For a gimbal-mounted microphone, cable flexibility and connector size are important for keeping the setup compact and reducing unnecessary cable bulk.
The 3.0mm Ultra Soft Cable provides a flexible cable construction, while the low-profile right-angle XLR connectors help keep the cable routing close to the equipment.
The customer selected red and black connector caps for the final cables.
