i just made a few more sets of cables, it does get easier, i would say that after the 5th set, you can expect to get quite proficient at it. my time has gone from 1hour per set to about 20mins per set.

Jon are you putting R A's on both ends? When are you going to start your Mic Cable buisness? Go with Orange!!  

JDS

[rabhan]

yes, right angles on both ends, what is the point of only one end?

check these out:

orange on both or orange and purple pairs? gotta know L from R

[jessedscott]

OOOO, we(well BCostigan) just did orange. Should have done 2 different colors. Next time. Your pics look great!

JDS

[rabhan]

thanks man! the thing is that with short cables(interconnects), colors are irrelevant, just need to know the L from the R, whereas, if you have like 10-20ft cables, i can see the want for different colors. however, what is the point of RT-angles for long cables? if you have to set up your gear with full bodies mics, then you are already gonna have a long setup and teardown, why rt-angled xlrs?

[rabhan]

i have always run actives, so i dont know, please fill me in...........

[F.O.Bean]

i have pair of both straight.......i would want one righ6t angle going out of my mic so the cables run vertically down so i can just strap onto my pole.....wheras, when i run straight cables, i have to make sure there is enuf slack on my cables up by the shure bar, w/ right angles, i would not have to worry about that and everthing on the stand (cable wise) would be a little more low-pro.......i would want straight cables on my male end (pre) for the simple fact that they would be bent otherwise (i found the PERFECT bag to run straight cables into) but would love a pair of : straight male, RT angles female.....and rt angle > rt angle just for phun.....sorry for rambling, but you asked....

[rabhan]

yeah, that makes sense, that way you dont have to loop them up top

[F.O.Bean]
