Fitting the coiled cable:
- Remove the rubber foot at the bottom end.
- Remove the rubber sleeve from the top end of the cable.
- Thread the spiral cable through the thin segment until
the cable is visible in the tip slot.
- Push out the cable end with the allen key and pull out the cable till
the first half turn of the spiral is outside the tip.
- Insert the rubber sleeve into the tip slot.
- Push the cable through the sleeve till it is tight. (use some soap to help slip)
Note:
Cable must wrap round ½ turn. See picture.
Solder the female XLR to the cable. Use heatshrink
to build up cable diameter for strain relief.
Plug wiring Mono XLR-3F:
1 = shield / ground, and bridged to plug housing
2 = yellow and brown/Audio+
3 = green and white / Audio –

Plug wiring Stereo XLR-5F:
1 = shield / ground, and bridged to plug housing,
2 = brown /Audio left +
3 = green/ Audio left –
4 = yellow/ Audio right +
5 = white / Audio right –
Mounting a coiled cable to the QXEST endpiece:
- Slide the ring nut ring on to the POM-shell.
- Screw the grub-screws into the two holes
so that the heads do not protrude.
- Push the short straight end of the coiled cable through the shell.
- Press the cable into the slit of the POM strain relief.
Make up for the cable diameter using heatshrink.
The opposite broad groove is for square/parallel cables.
- Pull the strain relief back into the POM-shell and push it in to the end. The position of
the grub-screws should be right next to the cable-groove, but must not hit the cable.
- Tighten one grub screw to fix the strain relief in the shell.

- Insert the assembly into the aluminium tube, so that the grub-screw 2 is right under the little hole
in the aluminum tube.
The cable should come out the side of the tube.
- Turn the grub-screw 2 counterclockwise so it pushes against the tube
and fixes the POM-part.
- Put the rubber-bumper
on to the aluminum tube
and start „Fitting the coiled cable“

- Insert the end of the POM shell into the bottom of the boom-pole and tighten the ring nut.
- Use some grease on the thread
Mounting a straight cable:
- Slide the ring nut ring on to the POM-shell.
- Pull the cable through metal tube and POM-shell.
- Follow instructions as above, mounting the coiled cable.
- Screw the grub-screws into the two holes so that the head doesn’t protrude.
- Insert the assembly into the aluminum tube, so that the grub-screw 2 is right under
the little hole in the aluminium tube.
- Turn the grub-screw 2 counterclockwise so it pushes against the tube and fixes the
POM-part.
- Put the rubber-bumper onto the aluminum tube.
- Insert the end of the POM shell into the bottom of the boom-pole and tighten the ring nut.
- Follow instructions as for fitting the coiled cable to the tip of boom, about 40 cm cable
should be free to go into the windshield (or as appropriate it working with a QAT,
Cinela suspension, or Connbox.
