Welcome to ELC Audio Engineering. Please read the description carefully before offerding. In case you're curious about our username (tungsten*ware), here's the short version: I live on Tungsten Drive, and this connection is not a coincident. Tungsten, known for its remarkable properties and versatility, finds extensive application across various industries, ranging from manufacturing and construction to electronics and healthcare. See footnote [0] for more info on tungsten.

As with all of our listings, we do NOT use stock photos or canned descriptions [1]. I've noticed other sellers using our headlines, descriptions, and photos, but these are ELC's original descriptions and photos. What you see in the photos is exactly what you're offerding on. Photos are an integral part of our descriptions: PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS CAREFULLY. If something isn't clear, please ask before you offer. Please read the description carefully so you know exactly what you are offerding on.

Shipping: International buyers must choose 's International Shipping Service. Note: does NOT automatically adjust for the shipping cost of combined items. If you purchase multiple items that can be combined into a single shipment, please request an invoice so I can combine items to save you money. We charge for actual shipping only (i.e. no added fees) using 's shipping calculator. Please read [2] for additional shipping info.

With very few exceptions, we do not accept returns. Read [3] for further details regarding this policy. Nothing in this listing is misleading--check our response as a seller [4].Many thanks for keeping a positive buying and selling experience!

This listing is for a very rare NOS (New Old Stock) MINT condition Bruel & Kjaer adapter-cable for connecting traditional Bruel & Kjaer 7-pin male connectors (generally found on mic preamp cables) to, for example, modern NEXUS power conditioning units with LEMO jacks. Note: This is OPPOSITE of the ZG 0350 adapter that converts an older Bruel & Kjaer 7-pin socket to LEMO female jack (see my other listings). I have two of these for sale: This listing is for a single AO-0488 adapter cable. Please view all photos, as they're better descriptors than my writing. Thanks for viewing! Buyer pays actual shipping on 1 lb. An overview of the slide deck follows:01. Main image, showing the Bruel & Kjaer Type AO 0488 adapter cable. I have two of these for sale: This listing is for ONE cable. These are extremely hard to find (and mega expensive when new!).
02 and 03. These two photos are for reference ONLY: This 1/4-in Bruel & Kjaer mic preamp has the traditional 7-pin connector end. How to connect to, for example, my NEXUS power conditioning unit? Use the AO 0488 adapter cable. Works great! NOTE: The mic preamp is neither included nor for sale at this time.
04. Detail showing Bruel & Kjaer 7-pin female socket end of the AO 0488.
05. An example use-case, taken from a Bruel & Kjaer catalog. The AO 0488 bridges gaps between traditional Bruel & Kjaer and today's connectors.
06. This is exactly the AO 0488 cable you will receive. No other accessories included. Thanks for viewing!

Reminder: International buyers must choose 's International Shipping Service. Thank you for viewing!

I do not entertain best offers, nor do I end sales early. Item will be sold to the high buyer (heck, a single buyer might get a fantastic deal). Items not paid for after 72 hours will be re-listed.

[1] We do not "borrow" photos from other sellers, nor do we use 's database. Other sellers have used our photos (noting we have zero affiliation with those sellers), and why I have added the tungsten (atomic symbol W) coffee mug for personal identification. If sellers aren't using their own photos, then you really don't know the condition of what you're buying or offerding on.

[2] I pack items with great care--the same way I'd like to receive a delicate or valuable item. Akin to other sellers, we do not have control over shipping costs or carrier delivery time. Small- and medium-sized items will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Larger parcels will be shipped via FedEx Home or FedEx Ground. Unlike Jeff B, neither nor I operate our own shipping services--this means no "Prime", free, or overnight shipping (although we ship some items for free depending on size).

[3] Why we no longer accept returns: In a few unfortunate incidences, buyers with buyer's remorse had intentionally damaged perfectly good equipment in order to receive a refund. In other instances, buyers were simply incompetent: Equipment was damaged because those buyers did not know how to properly use or handle it; yet, they wanted refunds because of the damage they had caused. Bottom line: No returns! If the wrong item is shipped or if there is a gross oversight on my part, I will promptly refund or exchange the item and pay for return shipping. Please understand that what you're buying is USED unless it's clearly stated as new.

[4] I'm batting 100% positive response after nearly two decades of buying and selling on *. I kindly leave positive response for those who do the same. Prior to my current username, I had over 1500 combined selling and buying reviews with 100% positive response. *(I changed my username since re-starting on in order to reflect my current business.)

[0] Tungsten's excellent electrical conductivity and thermal stability make it a preferred material for electronic and electrical applications. Tungsten wires and filaments are commonly used in incandescent light bulbs, electron tubes, and electrical contacts due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain consistent performance. Because I’m an advocate of VT amplifiers, I'll add that large transmitting tubes have carbonized tungsten filaments containing a small trace (1% to 2%) of thorium. Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3,422 deg C, 6,192 deg F), lowest vapor pressure (at temperatures above 1,650 deg C, 3,000 deg F), and the highest tensile strength. Its density is 19.254 g/cm3, comparable with that of uranium and gold, and much higher (about 1.7 times) than that of lead.
