Home / Neumann 008706 Cable Mini XLR 4pin AC 34 (1.8 M) Connection cable for the Miniature Clip Mic system, 0.6/1.8/3.0 m, to 4pin mini XLR
Product Overview
The Neumann AC 34 (Model: 008706) is a professional-grade interface cable designed for the Neumann Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) system. This 1.8-meter version is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between the KK 14 microphone capsule and wireless bodypack transmitters that utilize a 4-pin mini-XLR (TA4F) connector. Built to the exacting standards of the "Neumann Sound," it offers a perfect mix of sonic transparency and tour-grade durability.
Product Description
Universal 4-Pin Mini-XLR Compatibility: The AC 34 is the dedicated solution for connecting the MCM system to professional wireless bodypacks from brands such as Shure, Beyerdynamic, and AKG that feature a 4-pin mini-XLR input. The precision-molded connector ensures a snug, interference-free fit for reliable audio transmission in high-stakes live environments.
Kevlar-Reinforced for Maximum Strength: To survive the physical demands of live performances—where cables are often pulled, stepped on, or caught—the AC 34 is Kevlar-reinforced. This internal braiding provides exceptional tensile strength, preventing the internal conductors from snapping while maintaining high flexibility.
Flexible and Silent Handling: Despite its rugged build, the cable is designed to be soft and pliable. This high flexibility ensures that the cable drapes naturally along an instrument (like a saxophone, guitar, or violin) and minimizes "microphonics"—the unwanted mechanical noise caused by the cable rubbing against clothes or the instrument body.
Secure Mechanical Lock: For total peace of mind, the AC 34 is designed to be used with the KC 1 cable bridge. This bridge (which comes included with the SH 150 gooseneck) secures the connection between the cable and the gooseneck, acting as a strain relief and ensuring the cable never accidentally detaches during a performance.
Modular Ecosystem: As part of the MCM family, the AC 34 allows users to easily adapt their microphone to different wireless systems. If you switch from a Shure (4-pin mini-XLR) to a Sennheiser (3.5mm jack) system, you simply swap the cable, not the entire microphone.
