My approach to soldering 3-pin Lemo/ODU connectors is to slip a folded piece of Kapton tape between the pin i am soldering and the other two. And of course, a dual microscope! To hold the connector itself - a pencil eraser - push the pins in. the cable, secure it temporarily with some blu-tack an inch away from the wires to be soldered. A bit of jugglery and you can get both the pin and the wire in place. cheers -vin

I believe a CONN-BOX 5 pin XLR will have to be fitted into the WS2 kit for the CMS50.

I have the same question!

I am so glad to hear this! Have been worried about him, and since he is off the net, no news at all until you have met him. -vin

I have never faced a problem with gound loops in ~20 years using quality gear and of course i build my own cables. the VLock battery is not the issue here, which is why i highlighted just the two pieces of gear you are using that i firmly think is the root of the problem.

I would recommend a very tiny drop of Loctite (temporary hold version) to solve this problem.

the trouble is here imho. Both products not professionally manufactured, hence can be problematic. the RF distro is a blatant copy of the PSC unit. if you can, please borrow the following and try with the same cables etc, everything else the same. I can bet your problem will vanish. PSC or equivalent Power distro PSC RF Multi cheers -vin

About the Neumann KH120A https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/neumann-kh-120a-spinorama-and-misc-measurements.26896/

Dear Larry Why is 1V rms giving me 13 dBm at 50 ohms?

not just this PSC unit, but i have heard about sharkfin antennas also copied, seems it is the Shure ones. Some people here bought it (thinking they were getting a good deal) and it did not work too well for them. Apart from these, even the Sanken COS11 had been copied and made available on aliexpress kind of sites. -vin

thermal stripper...

5A max - for each group of outputs...

Fixed an SQN 4S power issue recently... Wonderfully engineered unit... cheers -vin

Mogami 2893 - If the length is short i dont think it will make a difference with AES signals. You have to try it out, I have not used it for AES so far. Also 4.8Ø (0.189") OD Mogami W2893 could be considered... One way of fitting larger OD cables in a TA5 (Neutrik Rean) is to trim the chuck from the top by a few mm with a pair of snippers to accomodate a thicker cable. I have done this many times. cheers, -vin

from my experience, definitely worth it. cheers -vin
