Q: 3. I'm interested in connecting a Sennheiser SK 100 G3 transmitter to a DJ's audio board. What is the difference between the Sennheiser CL 2, Sennheiser CM 1 and Sennheiser KA 600? Is it just the locking versus non-locking mini-stereo connector and length of each cable? Or are there important differences regarding signal quality?

A: The CM1 is designed for mics primarily with a DC voltage blocking capacitor to prevent damage to a microphone diaphragm. The CL2 is recommended for line level signal to the transmitter. The KA600 is designed specifically for the MKE 600 when connecting to a portable recorder or cameras high impedance input. Not designed for a wireless transmitter.

Q: 5. 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).

Q: 8. does this cable allow a shure sm-58 to connect directly to an EW-100 body pack without any modifications ?
