alenK Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hello, Why do Remote Audio multi pair cables for Sound Devices 552 and 664 only have mono audio return? Is the limiting factor the Hirose 10pin connector or the "break-away" connector, or is it the total number of wires in the mult cable? Do any other multi pairs for the 552/664 offer stereo audio return? If so how are they different? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Can't speak for RA, but if you build your own you can go with most any configuration. I personally have stereo return in mine. Some folks even include video return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the PSC have a shield on the timecode signal? It seems like RA implies that they went with mono return so they could shield the time code signal. I am curious to learn if the one or the other choice is limited by the choice of cable or the choice of connectors etc. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curiously, the ambient website describes all 4 of their 552 break away cables as having a mono return. http://ambient.de/en/product_custom_cat/hbs-552-en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know them because I bought one long ago and never thought about breakout cables any more. I have this one http://ambient.de/en/product/hbs10y10-35w/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
