The specs say it has a 14.75" cable -- surely that can't be correct, or is it?
Asked by: Nikola
Yes, the Saramonic SR-NV5X Short Shotgun Microphone with Hardwired XLR Cable does have a 14.75" attached cable. This length is suitable for an on-camera microphone. If you need a longer length, you can simply attach a standard XLR mic cable in the length that you need to the XLR connector for the mic and it will work as needed when connected to phantom power.
