Q: 1. Does this cable work with Sound Devices product only, or will it also work with an Audio-Technica ATW-R1820 receiver? The use of the Sound Devices name makes me wonder if the wiring is specific to those products.

A: This cable is not designed specifically for Sound Devices units although it is the most common application. It will work with any device that requires a mini to standard XLR output connection.

Q: 2. can this cable be used on Lectrosonics SRc Dual-Channel receiver to output to a camera ?

A: No, the Cable Techniques CT-LPS-FX3T-24B Low-Profile LPXLR-3F to TA3F Cable would not be suitable for connecting the output from the Lectrosonic SRc Wireless Receiver to the input on a camera since both connectors on the cable are female. You will want to use a cable with a male XLR connector such as the Cable Techniques CT-PLR3X-24K TA3F to XLR-3M Balanced Lectrosonics LR Receiver Cable - 24" (B&H # CACTPLR3X24K).

Q: 3. How long does it last?

Q: 7. Would these cables be compatible with the Sound Devices XL-AES expander?

A: No, the Cable Techniques CT-PXFT-18 XLR-3F to TA3F Cable for Sound Devices is not compatible for use with the Sound Devices XL-AES 8-Channel AES3 Input Expander. The XL-AES has four TA3F inputs, so you will need a cable that has TA3M connectors. To connect to the TA3 inputs on the XL-AES, you can use the single Cable Techniques XLR 3-Pin Female to TA3 Male Cable - 20" (B&H # CACTFXMT320), which is also available in a 2-pack (B&H # CACTF3MT3220), or the single Kondor Blue Mini-XLR Male to XLR Female Audio Cable - 16" (B&H # KOMXLR16BK), which is also available in a 2-pack (B&H # KOBMXLRMF16B).
