Ambient Recording

Ambient Recording XLR 7-pin Male to Female Coiled Loom Cable HBS7-7

SKU CH-9HCF-HYSD4

A coiled breakaway loom cable extending from 1.40 to 4.99 metres with 7-pin XLR connectors for mixer and camera connections

  • Coiled design extends from 1.40 m to 4.99 m for flexible reach
  • Two balanced lines plus return leads carry audio and monitoring signals
  • 7-pin XLR male to female connectors suit mixer and camera interfaces
  • Breakaway construction protects gear if the cable is pulled
  • Supplied as a single loom requiring Y-cable adapters for specific setups

Purpose and User

The Ambient Recording HBS7-7 is a coiled breakaway loom cable that carries two balanced audio lines and a return signal between professional mixers and cameras. It terminates in a 7-pin XLR male connector on one end and a 7-pin XLR female connector on the other.

Fit and Limits

This cable suits location sound crews who need a flexible, extending link between a mixer and camera while maintaining balanced signal paths. It is not for users who require a straight, fixed-length run or a plug-and-play connection without separate Y-cable adapters for their specific mixer and camera combination.

Behaviour Under Load

The coiled design rests at 1.40 metres and extends to 4.99 metres, retracting reliably after repeated stretching during active shoots. The single-shielded balanced pairs preserve signal integrity over the full 16.40-foot reach without the tangling common to straight cables of equivalent length.

Questions about this item

What breakout adapters are required to connect the 7-pin XLR ends to a mixer and camera?

The cable needs appropriate breakout cable adapters (Y-cables) for use with specific mixer and camera combinations, matching the two balanced lines and two return-signal leads inside the 7-pin loom.

How does the coiled length change when the cable is stretched between equipment?

At rest the cable measures 4.60 ft (1.40 m) and can be extended to 16.40 ft (4.99 m), giving a variable working distance without excess slack.

What indicates the two balanced lines and return leads are carrying signal correctly after hooking everything up?

Verify audio on both balanced channels at the mixer and confirm the return feed is present at the camera end; the 7-pin male-to-female connection passes all four conductors through the coiled loom.
