Sennheiser AC50-1 Adapter Cable - Special 3-Pin Connector to Female XLR (4.11 ft / 1.5m)

Audio adapter cable from Sennheiser special 3-pin connector to female XLR for 2000/3000/5000 Series

The Sennheiser AC50-1 is a 4.11-foot (1.5m) adapter cable that converts between the proprietary Sennheiser special 3-pin audio connector and a standard female XLR connector. Designed for Sennheiser 2000, 3000, and 5000 Series wireless components, this cable bridges the gap between Sennheiser's professional wireless system audio outputs and standard XLR-equipped audio equipment such as mixers, stage boxes, and audio interfaces.

The female XLR termination on the AC50-1 accepts a standard male XLR cable, making it the correct adapter when the Sennheiser receiver's audio output uses the special 3-pin connector and you need to connect to any standard XLR audio input. The 1.5-meter length provides enough reach for typical rack-to-patch connections without excessive cable slack.
