Tentacle Sync C23 Adapter Cable

Tentacle Sync C23 Adapter Cable is a dedicated timecode cable for feeding signal from a Tentacle SYNC E or ORIGINAL generator into a Sound Devices A20-Mini. It gives production sound crews a direct way to bring Tentacle timecode into the A20-Mini without adding a separate converter or breakout device.

The cable connects the Tentacle side to the A20-Mini through its USB-C interface. That makes it well suited to compact field-audio setups where keeping the timecode path short and uncomplicated matters, whether the A20-Mini is being used in a sound bag, on a cart, or as part of a mobile production rig.

Highlights

• Tentacle to A20-Mini timecode feed – sends timecode from a Tentacle SYNC E or ORIGINAL directly to a Sound Devices A20-Mini
• USB-C connection – interfaces with the A20-Mini through its USB-C port
• Dedicated adapter design – provides a purpose-built signal path without extra conversion hardware
• Field-ready workflow – suits production sound bags, mobile rigs, and other compact setups
• Simple integration – keeps the timecode connection between Tentacle and Sound Devices hardware straightforward

Quick Specs & Uses

• Product type: Timecode adapter cable
• Source device: Tentacle SYNC E or Tentacle ORIGINAL
• Destination device: Sound Devices A20-Mini
• Signal use: Timecode feed
• A20-Mini connection: USB-C
• Application: Production sound, field recording, wireless audio rigs, timecode distribution, and camera/audio synchronization

Why It Helps

Timecode links are easier to manage when there are fewer pieces in the chain. The C23 provides a direct route from the Tentacle generator to the A20-Mini, which keeps the setup clean and reduces the need for additional adapters between the two devices.

That is especially useful in a sound bag where space and cable management matter. The A20-Mini can receive timecode through its USB-C connection while the Tentacle SYNC E or ORIGINAL remains the source, keeping the sync path easy to trace when checking or rebuilding the rig.

For location work, the benefit is straightforward: one cable handles the specific Tentacle-to-A20-Mini timecode connection. That keeps the workflow focused and avoids adding unnecessary hardware around an already compact wireless audio setup.
