Sennheiser CL100 Unbalanced XLR Output Cable for EK 100 G3 Receiver

Male XLR to locking EW output cable for connecting the EK 100 G3 receiver to mixers and audio equipment

The Sennheiser CL100 is an unbalanced output cable with a male XLR connector on one end and a 3.5mm threaded locking EW connector on the other, designed to feed audio from the Sennheiser EK 100 G3 portable wireless receiver into professional audio equipment with XLR inputs. This cable enables direct connection to mixers, audio interfaces, recorders, and PA systems that use the industry-standard XLR input format.

Unlike the CL 1-N cable, which terminates in a 3.5mm miniplug for camera inputs, the CL100 provides a male XLR output for professional audio equipment. The unbalanced signal path is typical for portable wireless receiver outputs at this cable length. The threaded locking EW connector secures the cable to the receiver to prevent accidental disconnection during live use.
