Cable Techniques CT-PXFT-18 Reviews

Great for VocoPro SilentPA

By Juan Pablo
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-13

Solid cable used for my VocoPro SilentPA that I use as an IFB. I run it from my Zoom F4 to the SilentPA Transmitter. Wish I had a slightly longer model in hindsight.

Would these cables be compatible with the Sound ...

Would these cables be compatible with the Sound Devices XL-AES expander?
Asked by: Gustavo
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).

question

Does this cable work with the 302 sound device mixer and the 744t recorder. Also, does it come with one or two XLR to Ta3 cables?
Asked by: Frank R.
I don't know - I don't have either of those devices B&H tech help may be a better source. Sorry

question

Can I use this cable compatible with the Zoom F8 or is it exclusively for Sound Devices products?
Asked by: Robert L.
As long as your F8 has a mini XLR (I.e.TA3 connection) it will work just the same.
