Must have for quality audio!!!

"This is a spectacular cable for connecting any device with a 1/8" (3.5mm) input to an XLR output (microphone, mult box, camcorder, digital audio recorder, tape recorder and many other devices with NO loss of sound quality. Need more length? Simply connect an XLRM to XLRF cable of whatever length you need (I have everything from 1.5' to 50') or use a wireless adaptor with NO noticeable loss of audio quality. U..."

"Shooting multi-cam videos with up to three cameras requires a reliable source for quality sound. Connecting the MIT-156 Matching Transformer to my Audio-Technia shotgun mikes ensures that the sound I wed to the DV tape is comparably matched.

I am no audio pro, but I have found no problems with the cable. I ended up using a bracket to raise my Azden up by 4", and the cabl …"  Read Full Review »
