I’d like to thank Nathan and the team at Wendy’s Broadcadst for all their help. They have been supplying me with custom cables, made to the highest standard over many year. The low profile connectors are hard to find, yet they normally ship the finished leads the day after ordering, often to studios or locations where I am filming and I’ve never had to ask for any adjustments or corrections; They are right first time, despite my requiring some unusual bespoke wiring. I’ve also benefited from real world advice about products and fault finding. Wendy’s Broadcast have made location sound far less stressful.
The Rycote Boompole Adapter with Ratchet Lever & XLR Holder includes a 048402 boompole adapter and 048493 XLR holder. The boompole adapter can be used to mount modular suspensions, S-Series suspensions, softie Lyre mounts, and mono and stereo XBG suspensions onto a boompole. It features a brass 3/8"-16 female thread for complete integration with the studs located on the boompole. A ratchet-style lever handle allows for easy angle adjustment and locking.
The XLR holder fits between a boompole's 3/8"-16 thread and suspension to securely hold the XLR connector of a Connbox, Mic Tail, or Tac!T Filter cable outside a windshield system. As a result, the XLR is positioned at a set distance from the side of the boompole to prevent the XLR from becoming unclipped or making noise.
