Comments about Remote Audio CABETACM4 - 20' Betacam Breakaway Cable:
The breakaway cable is essential gear for EFP and ENG applications when you want really good audio. We purchased this cable to connect our Wendt X4 mixer to our Sony V1U rig. We love the ability to have our sound engineer AND our camera operator monitor field audio. The cable also enables us to record redundant audio via a digital field audio recorder and the camera's audio track.
What's the downside? There doesn't appear to be any way to connect external power (via a power distribution system) to the Wendt X4, since the hirose connector is occupied with the cable. I wish the manufacturer had allowed a hirose pigtail to be included in the cable system to allow for external power.
Still, the cable is well made and an excellent solution...if you have lots of AA batteries for your field mixer.
