Pablo Villegas Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hello, I want to make an extension cable for my SPS 200 mic and was wondering if anyone knew the reference number for this connector. It looks like a regular 10 pin hirose connector but instead of being push/pull, it has a locking thread. I'm having a hard time finding it on the hirose website and contacted TSL (soundfield) a few days ago, but haven't received a reply. Thanks, Pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigF Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I fond this that refrences Lemo 10 and 12 pin connectors, most manufatures stay with 1 brand of mass connector so you my be looking at the wrong maker http://www.manualslib.com/manual/777936/Soundfield-St350.html?page=25#manualo or I may be compleatly wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Villegas Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thank you Craig. I did look into Lemo under the same assumption, but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigF Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 might try the North American importer as well, who ever that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersont Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 This looks like it to me: http://www.markertek.com/product/e10m/eiaj-circular-10-pin-male-connector Although male, there must be females nearby... And I like what I think I see on your table: a 3d printing wind basket for the SPS200? If so, what do you cover it with? Love to hear how you like it, how much breeze it can handle, etc. I use a stereo rycote AE for mine but something smaller would be nice. And as soon as I saw the TSL/Bextel (US importer) price $$ for an extension cable, I also began searching for parts to make my own... but I question my soldering skills for such fine work. Besides, the cable & parts aren't exactly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Deakin Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Looks like the Leo from cinela. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Villegas Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Peter, like Glen said, it's a cinela Leo, but it's there because I was trying to 3D draw one to adapt it to the SPS200 but it proved easier said than done. I currently have it on a Rycote kit 4, but I'm looking for a smaller footprint. The mic is not extremely sensitive to wind, so I figured the cinela cage with decent fur would suffice. I have a project coming soon that requires me to be far from the mic and that's why I'm looking to make an extension. With the right tools and parts it should be quite easy. But the trick is finding the right parts... The link you shared is for a bigger connector. Once I find the part I'll share it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Deakin Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 One does not sell their cinela it's just to good to let go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Villegas Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 True Glen. The cinela is on the list. But still big for what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Deakin Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 maybe someone has a used zephyx for sale : http://www.cinela.fr/catalog.php?pid=58 A zephyx won't work for him as the soundfield mic has to be a shorter version right from the factory barrel of the microphone is shorter. So pianissimo might be his best bet if he were to go with cinela. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramallo Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 The problem with the Pianissimo is the cable, this is a Phillipe reply about this: "We could also deliver units right now...but we need plugs to make a specific flexible extension inside the windshield. To be seen with Soundfield, or using an existing extension..." P.S. Any progress with the connector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmanjohn Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Soundfield made a special version of the SPS-200, with the suffix -SB, which had a sort of built-on Zephyx. It was very expensive and pretty unwieldy and I wasn't that thrilled with the entire set-up and sold it on. As far as the extension cable is concerned, you could just put together a four-way XLR multi: probably cheaper, too!

Pablo Villegas Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks John. Indeed, that's for now the solution... But so many connectors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmanjohn Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Pablo, I've found a couple of companies that list the in-line connectors as Soundfield spares: part numbers 410-401 for the female, and 410-402 for the male, at $41 each. This company seems to be a sales outlet for TSL so they may be able to help: Bexel TSS, West 2701 N. Ontario Street, Burbank, CA 91504 Phone: 800.842.5111 & 818.565.4339 email: BexelTSS@bexel.com Worth a try? Regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunosound Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Bexel and Dale Pro Audio are the best bets for Soundfield parts in the US. I miss having Transamerica Audio Group as US distributors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Villegas Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks John. Great find. But at $41 per connector and $17 per meter of cable, a 4 xlr snake seems not too bad after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 The cables and drum from Soundfield are very expensive. I have an SPS in the Antarctic currently with a Rycote ball and Softie I have advised good for sound fx but use my CSS-5 for wind. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
