The CT-S600-12U is a 12" cable designed to partner Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun microphones with DSLR camera 3.5mm microphone inputs. It features a female 3-pin XLR connection point at one end and a 3.5mm TRS right-angle male plug at the other. It's designed to send a mono left/right combined signal to your DSLR. The side-exit construction of the XLR connection point is useful when mounting the MKE 600 on a DSLR recorder, keeping the cable out of your face.
