AKG 2517K00180 - Mini XLRF-mini XLRF Cable for AKG C516 (1.5m)

AKG 2517K00180 - Mini XLR Female to Mini XLR Female Cable (1.5m) for AKG C516/C518/C519 Microphones

The AKG 2517K00180 is the original 1.5m cable designed for the AKG C516 ML / C518 ML / C519 ML series of instrument microphones. Featuring 3-pin female-to-female mini XLR (TA3) connectors at both ends, it allows the microphone to be connected/bridged to AKG bodypacks or standard AKG power adapters , maintaining a reliable, low-impedance connection that is ready for professional stage and studio use. The flexible jacket and black finish allow for neat routing over instruments, mounting plates, and racks.

It's the ideal replacement when the cable included with the C516 ML (or related models) is damaged or has loose contacts, ensuring 100% OEM compatibility and the standard length that AKG supplies from the factory for these applications. The 3-pin mini XLR interface is the same as that used in AKG's WMS/PT wireless systems and the MPA VL (phantom) or B29 L (battery) modules, so this cable fits into standard workflows without any modifications.
