myke2241 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Anyone have any recommendations for 4 channel cable for a DMS setup. I'm aware of the Schoeps DMS conbox but I want to weigh my options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Why 4 channels? The Schoeps thing is very expensive, and I'm not sure they even sell it separately. I had mine made at one of the usual suspects, but it was just three channels and no box. Just three Lemo plugs (it was for Schoeps CCM mics) going into a 7 pin XLR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myke2241 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 You can buy just the schoeps (which is actually a rycote) DSM conbox which i believe comes with two CCM lemo conbox cables and a XLR. BH sells it for $300 and change. so it is not horrible. but since i plan on using MKH 8000 series with it i may have to shell out a addition $160 for the cables for the MKH's if i could exchange the CCM lemo cables. 4 channels because no one i know of makes a three. i could be wrong. how do you like the DSM conbox?

Constantin Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I don't have the connbox. Didn't know it was just $300. when I kast checked, it was more like $1200. Although with the Connbox you can swap out the short ends from the box to the mic. So you could have any combination of mics in there. I generally like the connbox, but I use my DMS setup on a stand, so I'm happy with what I've got and it was still cheaper than $300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
