1.0 out of 5 stars it's now a paperweight, August 5, 2011

This review is from: CAD Trion8000 Multi-pattern Condenser Microphone (Electronics)

Please note that this mic does not connect directly to a standard XLR mic cable. It has an odd 6-pin cable that connects it to its power supply. (The power supply box DOES have XLR out.)

My problem is that the 6-pin cable wore out rather quickly, and finding a replacement is rather difficult. No one at the music supply stores know what I'm talking about when I ask for it

I am not sure why this mic couldn't have been powered with a standard XLR cable. Whatever the reason, it has turned my mic into a paperweight.

From what I remember, this mic sounded good, but it has been years since I've been able to use it.
