Sennheiser CL 2 Line Cable for EW Bodypack Transmitters (Female XLR to 3.5mm Locking EW)

XLR-to-EW adapter cable for feeding line-level audio into Evolution Wireless bodypack transmitters

The Sennheiser CL 2 is a line-level adapter cable with a female XLR connector on one end and a 3.5mm threaded locking EW connector on the other, designed to feed line-level audio signals into Sennheiser Evolution Wireless bodypack transmitters. This cable enables an EW bodypack to receive audio from any XLR line-level source, including mixer outputs, media players, DJ equipment, and instrument DI boxes.

By converting from the professional XLR format to the EW bodypack's 3.5mm locking input, the CL 2 expands the range of sources that can be transmitted wirelessly through an Evolution Wireless system. This is particularly useful for applications where a dedicated wireless transmitter is not available for the source device, or where a bodypack needs to carry a line-level feed rather than a microphone signal.
