mark kirchner Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 3 hours ago, Sebastian said: What types of miniature mic cables are people using for their right angles cable assemblies (particularly going into the TA5F connectors)? I guess the thinnest and most flexible the better. Canare L-2E5 seems to be popular but it looks like Mogami make a really thin version too (model number unknown). The colour braiding is really popular so I guess the 2.5mm cable would be the best OD if that is to be used. What say the collective? Mogami W3031 (braided copper shield) and Redco TGS-1 I get both for Redco Audio Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found a UK supplier for the Mogami W2697 which is identical to the W3031 without the braided shield variation but would have preferred the W3031. I don't think I can get the Redco TGS-1 in UK.

OPS Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I just finished my new prototype XLR right angle connector. The end cap is made of anodized aluminum (shielding aspect). The output is 360 ° selectable. The connector can be easily opened and repaired at any time. Currently I have the cap only in black. I have created a small Assembly Instructions video with my mobile. https://youtu.be/3qlnrCjtbfU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Cameron Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 This is very clever. I like the 'cable reel' design with the pin in the center of the cap. Seems the cable rotates about the central pin enough to do most jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100sideprojects Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Nice job Jason! For anyone interested Trew sells their own version of this connector for $25 CAD. Also there are a few other companies making them, such as Cable Tecniques. Making your own is much more fun tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note that you do not to tighten the grub screws when assembling. The threads are short and can over-turn with too much force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100sideprojects Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 So many good ideas on The Right Angle XLR here. This would be my interpretation! I've shown this pic in another topic, but I think it applies here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasfargone Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 So I've decided to give it anther go to build a low profile XLR cable for my bag but before I went any further, I wanted to try out the epoxy process on a connector, which I attempt three times already. I did a 1:1 ratio and added a drop of acrylic blue paint but so far nothing good. it's been sticky/tacky for 3 days now and I'm in a warm environment which is recommended for the healing process. Any recommendations on what I'm doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourtelot Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 One thing comes to mind. Two actually. Not enough hardener and/or old epoxy. I have had this result with both of these situations. If not either of these, I don't know another reason. This is the brand I use and it works well: https://www.amazon.com/Devcon-Epoxy-4-25-Ounce-Bottles/dp/B005K091ZU/ref=zg_bs_256244011_29?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=N5JMEJ4M94FFNK9NE7Q4 Plastic model paint (like Testors) makes a great color additive.

D. Thanks for the advice D. I'll see if I can get my hands on some Teators paint soon. Yhe expoy should be good, I just bought gallon of resin and hardener about three weeks ago but it was for my kitchen counter and island, which worked amazingly. I'll give it another go with some testor paint and more hardener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent R. Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just trowing this in here, I think they are fairly new, but just for 4.05 USD these are about the same price as a normal XLR connector. Didn't see it pop up here on the forum before: http://www.switchcraft.com/productsummary.aspx?Parent=1200https://proaudio.com/catalog/switchcraft-low-profile-right-angle-male-xlr-black.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Trew Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 These are the "Conxall" Korean-made, economy brand owned by Switchcraft. I have some on order to check them out. Not as well made as Swtchcraft...sort of an equivalent to the Rean economy brand of Neutrik. The most robust ones I know of are the Remote Audio brand, but if these compare favorably with their low price, I'll switch in a heartbeat! We'll see soon...

Here’s some illustrations of how it assembles. Seems like the strain relief is just a hole to pass the cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
