If you are handy with a soldering gun. You can buy shielded microphone cable and Neutrik XLR male & female connectors and make your own. It is tedious and fidgety, but you can get the exact length you need (no piles of unsightly cable lying around) and you can save a ton of money.
Balanced connection XLR microphone cables ?
I purchased a pair of balanced cables, used for microphones at live concerts, from a Music shop (pin 2 hot). They were very reasonably priced. Before I plug them in and risk damaging my new/old Krell KRC-HR and or McCormack DNA 2 LAE I thought I would seek advice from the "A-gon Team"... Will they work?
