Topic: Hydra cable (got wet...advice needed)

[Liquid Drum]

Well. My hydra cable (1/8'' jack to 1/8'' jack, both male) fell into the toilet last night. Yes have a big laugh lol.   

It fell out my pocket. Anyways it got totally covered in water. I dried it off but is it still usable? Or do I need a new cable?


Thanks,
Simon.

is the end the kind you can unscrew?
if so unscrew it and try a blow drier, not on really hot though

I can unscrew the right-angle plug end but not the other end, without breaking into it. On the end I did unscrew it was dry inside. I mean, does the water damage such a cable? I really wouldn't want any drop-outs, etc.

let it dry and it should work just fine

open and let it dry on its own unless the dryer has a cool air setting.

LOL. 

I was open taping (well kind of) but I haven't a stand yet so had to wear the mics. I went for a piss after the show and as I did up me zipper (which got a bit stuck lol) the cable fell out the side and into the bowl lol.

A mess, but thats £20 sitting in there, heh.

 

At least it wasn't my recorder... 

Thanks for the replies, +t

So just to confirm, it should be ok once its fully dry? Piss won't cock up the connections?

Thanks.

Welllllll, I might wash mine with FRESH water, then let it dry real good!

I was just thinking the same thing! Nothing like stale piss smell to attract the ladies...

[Liquid Drum]

Damn, thats a good point. Think I'll wipe over the surface lightly with some clean water on a damp cloth. Can't be smelling while taping, lol.

good one.
If for any reason it seems flaky from its terrible ordeal, i'll replace it w/a new one for you (free).
