{"product_id":"royer-ro-yc18","title":"Royer YC-18 SF-12\/SF-24 Y Splitter Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Royer YC-18 is the splitter cable from the cable sets that ship with Royer's SF-12 and SF-24 stereo ribbon microphones. It takes the 5-pin XLR end of the 5-conductor extension cable and splits it into two 3-pin male XLR connectors, one for each ribbon element, marked Upper and Lower. Royer sells it on its own as a replacement splitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the Cable Set Connects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SF-12 and SF-24 each have a 5-pin XLR output that carries both channels. A 5-conductor extension cable runs from the mic to the YC-18 (18 ft with the SF-12, 25 ft with the SF-24), and the YC-18 feeds two standard mic inputs on your preamp. For longer runs, Royer's EXC50 and EXC100 extension cables go between the mic and the splitter. The SF-24 manual warns against substituting extension cables of unknown wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUpper and Lower\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two ribbons in an SF-12 or SF-24 sit one above the other, which is where the Upper and Lower labels come from. With the mic upright and the Royer logo facing the source, Upper is the right channel and Lower is the left, heard from behind the mic. When the mic hangs upside down, swap the two at the preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement splitter for the SF-12 and SF-24 cable sets (CS-18 and CS-25)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-pin XLR input from the 5-conductor extension cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo 3-pin male XLR outputs marked Upper and Lower\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with the EXC50 and EXC100 extension cables for longer runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stereo splitter (Y) cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-pin XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 3-pin male XLR, marked Upper and Lower\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin-out:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pin 1 shared ground, pins 2 and 3 upper ribbon (hot, cold), pins 4 and 5 lower ribbon (hot, cold)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible microphones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Royer SF-12 and SF-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot for:\u003c\/strong\u003e SF-24V, which uses 7-pin cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67380217577721,"sku":"RO-YC18","price":109.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/royer-ro-yc18-1.jpg?v=1792178475","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/royer-ro-yc18","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
