Good-Vibes Stories: Café del Mundo

GVS_Mundo_grun-1200x400

When we took the stage with Distortion’s musical concept but still wanted to keep our acoustic guitars as our signature sound, there was a moment when we thought about giving up. But then Sommer cable came back with another idea, and things just kept moving forward. One phone call – and the next day, the cables were in our mailbox. Absolutely amazing!


Café del Mundo

Today we'd like to introduce you to our partner, Café del Mundo:

When Café del Mundo performed at the Tempel in Karlsruhe in 2013, concert filmmaker Thierry Miguet and Sommer cable CEO Rainer Blanck were also in the audience. That concert visit led to a partnership that, to this day, is characterized by mutual inspiration, creativity, and a passion for live music.

Our collaboration goes far beyond technology and cables. Over the past few years, we have repeatedly worked together to develop solutions whenever new musical ideas presented unique technical challenges. 

Many of the solutions we’ve developed together – ranging from custom-made products to tried and tested standard products – continue to support Café del Mundo in their live performances to this day.

B2FAU0015-SW

Colour: black | Length: 0,15m
On the road again…and once again the (rented) sound system of the local organiser offers the most adventurous connections that just won’t match with our equipment. With our handy ROAD-ADAPTERNS you will spare yourself from time-consuming “soldering arias“ and bricolage before the soundcheck or gig. Our ROAD-ADAPTERNShave a z.B. 0,15m cable and are therefore extremely flexible, especially where rigid adapters will fail due to their installation depth. They fit into the narrowest of rack connections and almost any connection standard. We have surrounded the connection lead of our ROAD-ADAPTERNS with an unshrinked transparent shrink-on tube for you so that you can label your adapter as you please.Miscellaneous:Configuration: Pin 1-Gnd./Pin 2-Tip/Pin 3-RingConfiguration: 0,15 m DMX Binary 234 AES/EBU MKII; 2 x 0.34 mm²; PVC Ø 6,20 mm; black (520-0051)1 x HICON XLR PRO+, 3-pole female, silver-plated contacts, black metal housing, black metal cap, 6-chuck collet strain relief (HI-X3CF-M)1 x HICON Metal cap, HICON-XLR metal cap, metal black (HI-XCAP0)1 x HICON Code ring for HICON XLR straight transparent (HI-XC-TR)1 x HI-X5CM-M-WOB1 x HI-XC-CAP-M1 x HICON Code ring for HICON XLR straight transparent (HI-XC-TR)0,03 x BTM095/TR1 x KARTONAGE-SCMINI

Studio-Looms

Cable: QUANTUM | In/Out: 04/00 | Length: 1,00m | Side 1: HICON XLR male | Side 2: HICON XLR female
The bigger your choice, the harder you choose...We offer you a comprehensive range of professionally configured looms for use in studios or live rigs, e.g. for wiring up racks. Since no demands as to road readiness are imposed on some looms and not many mating cycles are required from them, we supply 2 or even 3 quality grades: the BASIC quality is assembled with our numbered SC-QUANTUM HIGHFLEX studio or stage multipair and is fitted with the lower-priced, very solid standard connectors from HICON. The PROFESSIONAL quality comes with Neutrik connectors. This version is mainly used in professional studios where the studio techs set great value on a linear transmission and a perfect shielding. The SC-QUANTUM HIGHFLEX complies with the 110 Ω AES/EBU or DMX standard and can therefore not only be used in the analog world, but also in the digital domain. Of some versions we also deliver an additional quality for which we process the probably best audio multipair SC-PEGASUS available on the market. The SC-PEGASUS is wired in crossover mode and supplied with gold-plated XLR connectors from NEUTRIK®. With a wire/wire capacitance of only 35 pF and a triple shielding (Cu spiral screen + foil for each wire pair + overall Cu braided screen) it's the absolute reference in the field of studio technology wiring. Likewise the SC-PEGASUS can be used for analog as well as (with crossover wiring) digital applications. Please note: professional users most often use only 4- or 8-pair looms because multipairs with more than 8 pairs have a considerable weight and can literally “lever out“ the PCB connections of the input sockets on some synthesizers, workstations, mixing desks or other devices.Configuration: 1,00 m Multipair SC-Quantum QMC; S-PVC; black | 2 x 0,14 mm² x number of pairs 04 (100-0451-04)4 x HI-X3CM-BLK-D0,05 x BPDWM-12/04-TR4 x HI-X3CF-BLK-D0,05 x BPDWM-12/04-TR1 x Cardboard packaging for blister hooks, Design Sommer cable
