Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will it work with Sound Devices 302 as well? I Know theres one Breakaway cable intended for FP33 and SD 302, but I would like to know if this one has same capabilities as the mentioned and also has timecode in it.

A: It will work as an audio output tethered to camera via XLR. But the timecode side of things will not be usable as the 302 does not have a timecode function. The return into the 302 should work, but I've never personally tested it.

Q: 2. Does this come with Portabrace items sold with bag from their manufacturer site or just the case? Specifically, - 1x CARA-BRNZ Carabiner & Flashlight - 1x HB-15 Shoulder Strap - 1x PS-6a Velcro Cable Wrap, 6"" - 2x RX-STRIP Audio Recorder Strip - 2x DIV-5X11.75CORR Corrugated Dividers ??

A: Thank you for your question. This item comes with just the case by itself with no additional accessories.

Q: 3. Would this work on Zoom f8n or even Mixpre-6II?

A: The Remote Audio ENG Breakaway Cable with Timecode for The Sound Devices 633 has a 5-pin LEMO connector for timecode to accommodate the 633, but the Zoom F8n uses BNC for timecode input/output and MixPre-6 II both uses 3.5mm for timecode.input/output. Other than that, the XLR and 3.5mm connectors on the Remote Audio cable are compatible with both recorders.

Q: 4. Will it fit the mixpre 10-T?

Q: 5. Does the bag detach from the vest?

A: Yes - the system is modular and the components detach from the vest.

Q: 6. Is the lemo TC compatible with the 833?

A: Yes, the LEMO 5-pin timecode connector on the Remote Audio CABETASD633 ENG Breakaway Cable is compatible for use with the Sound Devices 833 Field Recorder.

Q: 7. I have a Sound Devices 788T and want to get a break-away that also sends timecode. This looks like the only one. Will it also work with the 788T? By looking at the picture, I can assume it will--with minor adaptation. 1) I already have TA3 to XLR cables for the mixer outputs and 2) would just have to adapt the 1/8 TRS back to TA3 or XLR and use an input channel to monitor return--or get a switcher box and use the 1/8 straight out. Am I making all the right assumptions here? Safe to buy? :-)

A: Can't see why it wouldn't work the way you've described. You could also have Pro Sound or Gotham Sound in NYC make you a custom end for the 788 for this.

Q: 8. Is there an extension cable available for this?

A: There is only a 50' time code cable.

Q: 9. Is the RTN on this cable really mono? The Sound Devices 302 and 633 both expect stereo return.

A: The return on this cable is mono, using a balanced (stereo) 3.5mm connector which is compatible with the Sound Devices units.

Q: 10. Is there another version of this cable that has a true stereo RTN?

A: The RTN L+R pins are summed to a single pin as a limitation of the 8pins available in these NeutriCon connectors. To give the Timecode's ground isolation from the XLR audio (to avoid that pesky TC Bleed), they are out of pins. The cable itself has enough wires to accommodate a true stereo return... it crossed my mind to replace the connectors with XLR-10pin, but those are not as easily "breakaway-able". So either way, it's a trade-off.

[1.885 lb] This works great and provides exactly what you need for run-and-gun shoots or interview setups. I wish it was cheaper, but it does seem high quality. 5

[20' (6.1 m)] Really great bag. Numerous pockets offer countless storage options. All sides are easily accessible for cable management. The bag is sturdy and soft where need be. Loving the the threads on the front of the bag, where I'm able to mount antennae or other accessories, like my iPad mount or timecode generator. 5

[20' (6.1 m)] K-Tek asked the sound community what we wanted in a bag and this one delivers. My 833 fits perfectly sitting atop (2) L-mounts. Quick magentic access to the battery compartment for my remote smart batteries. Front storage, Plenty of room for wireless receivers. Side storage to hold my K-Tek short shotgun mic case and wireless accessories. This is the defacto best bag for location sound recordists. 5

[20' (6.1 m)] For any sync recording from camera to the Sound Devices 552, this is the best cable, and most reasonably priced time code cable I have seen for the Sound Devices 552 mixer/recorder. This cable connects to a BNC cable from the camera via a BNC barrel connector (also needed unless you have a BNC male to female type cable). The price is hard to beat, and you will need this and a most likely a barrel connector, & BNC cable to get time code from the camera. With Mp3 recording, and other external or backup recording now commonly used, having a time code synced recording capability as a sound mixer/sound recordist is a must.

[20' (6.1 m)] I use this cable with my Sound Devices 552 mixer, and it has worked perfectly. I used to have to record timecode (using a different mixer) with a Marantz portable sound recorder, and use tons of different cables and adapters do so. Now, I can plug the camera's timecode out directly into my mixer with no hassle. My only complaint is that the cable is a little short, but I carry barrel adapters and extra BNC cables in my audio kit so it's not a problem. 5

[20' (6.1 m)] Very Well package. Great Size 5

[1.885 lb] Fits like a glove. Will fit other similar size mixers. I like the the side panels help transfer some of the weight of mixer to my hips. 5

Ryan	24/07/2024
[1.885 lb] If you have a 633 this is must have. Plain and simple. Even if using wireless hops, there is always a need for a wire. Having the added Timecode built in with a return is absolutely amazing. 5

Chris	02/06/2024
[1.885 lb] This is a must have when doing any kind of locked-down interviews - allows you to send timecode, a LR mix as well as monitor the camera return. The cable is very sturdy and well built, and feels like it’ll be able to take some abuse out in the field. Get one! 5

Aaron	01/06/2024
[1.885 lb] I use my 633 for single camera interviews and run-and-gun work. I need a cable that sounds good and can take a beating sometimes. Remote Audio has made a great, robust cable. The connection between the camera end and the rest of the cable is solid and releases easily and the 90 degree BNC out for TC is a nice touch. At 20', the cable is a little short at times, but it is by no means a deal breaker. It might seem pricey at nearly $300, but I will tell you it is worth the investment. It quickly became a vital part of my 633 kit. 5
