Description

The CMC 1 KV is identical to the CMC 1 U, but instead of the built-in XLR connector, it has a fixed cable coming out the side.

The CMC 1 KV is identical to the CMC 1 K, but has a side-outgoing cable instead of a front-outgoing cable.

The variants of the CMC 1 KV with Lemo connector are compatible with pocket transmitters that provide P48 or P12, e.g. Zaxcom ZMT 4, SoundDevices A20-TX, Deity DLTX.

Practice
