Hey Clarence, your in good company with the LMC77. Major cool factor... Miles, Dizzy, Botti, (now Clarence) they all used the LMC77!
Here is some info. off the SD site in case you did not see it? Looks like an XLR will work for you. If you want a killer cord go to my man Drew

SD Systems mics are delivered with a preamp to attach to your belt.
You connect this preamp to the mixer or stageblock with a XLR-XLR cable, these cables are common on stages, used for voicemics etc..
You can move free on stage with a long XLR cable (connect 2 together!),
SD Systems mics are not standard delivered with a wireless system.
The advanvantage of playing "wired mics" as mentioned above:
1.there is much LESS electronics in the audio chain, giving a fatter sound
2.wireless equipment always give some compression to the sound, due to built in compressor/limiter in all transmitters.
3.better S/N (signal to noise ratio).
4.use of Tone, Volume, standby controls (and balance @ our DM -double mic- preamps).
5.very long battery life (2 years), wireless: a few gigs.
6.less equipment to carry (the receiver takes space)
7.much cheaper, a good wireless costs extra money.
8.no problems with frequency interference of other transmitters / licenses.
"wireless mics"
However, SD Systems mics can be combined with all kind of wireless systems from different brands.
Also, lateron you can decide , to go wireless.
In Europe we recommend Sennheiser, in USA & Canada : Shure.
Advantage: when there are many (guitar) players who play cabled, you can't get mixed up with their cables, or when you walk into the audience, it's an advantage too.
You can connect our mics direct with the transmitter (less boxes on your belt or sax).
But, in case you want to keep your adjustment knobs of the LP preamp, make a XLR cable from LP to the input of the transmitter that you use.
Here is some info off the sure site:
