AKG 3170Z00010 - Cable with Phantom Adapter F. C518, C519

AKG 3170Z00010 - Cable with phantom to XLR adapter for C518/C519 (3 ​​m)

The AKG 3170Z00010 is the original AKG phantom power adapter cable for converting the C518 and C519 instrument microphones ( MicroMic series, with “L” type connector) to direct wired use on a standard XLR input. It features an integrated MPA V L type phantom power module at the XLR end, allowing the condenser capsule to be properly powered from 9–52 V phantom power from your mixer or preamp and offers the option of a switchable low-cut filter to control low-frequency rumble. The microphone end features a 3-pin female mini-XLR (TA3F) to accept the “L-type” connector of the C518/C519, and a 3-pin male XLR to the receiving equipment. The 3 m length facilitates clean routing from the instrument to the console or stagebox without the need for additional extension cables.
