what length cable...
« on: April 16, 2010, 02:55:19 PM »
do you guys use/recommend for going preamp > recorder? (dual RCA > 1/8)
i am looking for a nice middle ground length for times i will have everything in a bag and times i will be carrying gear on me
i want to have length for the times i can clearly hold the recorder in my hand but not so much that its hard to keep under control when i need to be low pro
i was thinking maybe 18" ??? please give me your thoughts
thanks

I use a 3 footer. I don't want to put any stress on the cable/input jack if I pick up the recorder while recording.
