The Camplex 8-Channel ST Single-Mode Fiber Tactical Snake comes in a reel of 750'. It is a ruggedized multi-channel fiber optic cable designed for multiple deployments for field production in outside broadcast, rental houses, and more. It is a highly flexible tight-buffered tactical cable with internal aramid strength members for crush resistance in high-traffic areas (if handled properly) and a polyurethane outer sheath designed to withstand crushing by both military tanks and outside broadcast vehicles. All assemblies are multi-stage machine polished and tested for <0.55 dB RL with test results for each channel supplied with each cable.

The Tactical Fiber Snake Reel includes Schill fiber optic cable reels with connector protection cavity and hinged latching door. The Schill reel has been carefully selected to ensure proper support and critical bend radius required by fiber optic cables.

Q: 1. Is it possible to use LC fiber with these assuming I use the appropriate LC to X media converter?

A: The Sescom SES-X-FA4LXT01 4-Channel XLR Line-Level Audio-over-Fiber Extender Kit is compatible with LC fiber without the need for an adapter, as it is designed for ST fiber cables.

Q: 2. If I buy this MM1 device, can I use it with the MIX PRE-3 II or do I no longer need it? Please help

A: Sound Devices MM-1 Single-Channel Portable Microphone Preamp provides a standalone preamp option with line level output for use in a variety of situations. If the Sound Devices MixPre-3 had a dedicated line level input, this unit might prove useful to use alongside.

Q: 3. If I used this preamp with a recorder (TASCAM DR-40) at what setting should I put the audio gain in the recorder? I will be using it with a pro camcorder two, which has its own audio gain manual control, what gain setting should I use there too? Or should I adjust it while monitoring until I reach my sweet spot ?I'm still in the learning process.Thanks in advance :)

A: Hi - I use this preamp with a Tascam DR-60D Mark II recorder, so I'm guessing your DR-40 works similarly. The SoundDevices preamp sends out a line signal -- not a microphone signal -- so you would set the audio recorder input to line. (Page 48 of your manual has instructions on this.) You will not need to use gain on the recorder (and, in fact, I'm pretty sure that the recorder will not offer gain for a line signal). In my work with this preamp, I've found that the preamp gain dial on the preamp is the main setting to focus on. (If you're monitoring audio through the recorder, then the mon gain and phones dials on the preamp are irrelevant.) Depending on the type of mic you're connecting to the preamp, a preamp gain setting of 36-50 dB should work well, with an input level on the recorder of about 50%. Hope this helps!

Q: 4. Will this device convert a mic level signal to line level?

A: Yes, the MP-1 inputs a mic level signal and outputs a line level signal.

Q: 5. Is the AC power adapter supplied ?

Q: 7. Could I use this to power my MKH 416 so that I can record audio straight to my A7III?

A: Yes you can, however please note this requires an AC power adapter to be plugged into the wall to run the pre-amp. Here's a battery powered solution for portability: BH #PS48PMPS.

Q: 10. I am trying to connect my Shure Microflex MX412 to my Canon Vixia HF100. I know that I'll need an XLR to mini cable to finish the connection. Will this get me part way, meaning, if I hook my mic to this will this give me enough phantom power to work?

A: This will provide phantom power to xlr mics that require it. Always have a spare battery.
