Zack Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just gives you an XLR instead of the 3.5mm. Still mic level though if you're referring to an Epic or Scarlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Wilkinson Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 it's just an expensive xlr to mini adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 It made running sound to the cameras much easier since most mixers can attenuate the outputs to the needed signal level. Many ways to skin a cat, this was one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpiegari Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 What's great about it is it's recognized as a necessary accessory for the RED Epic/Scarlet. Rental houses and owner operators buy and provide them. It's no longer up to the sound dept to research and build a proprietary cable or breakout we hope to never need...

Marc Wielage Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 No, just make the cables That's what I say. A custom-made cable cut to the right length makes the camera department happy, especially with a wireless hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
