You can do this yourself.  I know it sounds intimidating, but I swear it's not that bad.  I made a set of 3"-5" cables w/right angle XLRs.  It's no big deal, and once you get used to it you'll never pay $50+ for a good cable again!

There are some tutorials in the archives here.  You can get the parts at www.markertek.com.  The right angle Neutriks are a little pricey, but that's all relative.  You might spend $15 for a short cable.  Expect $5.50 or so for right angles, $1.50 or so for standards.  Canare star quad is $0.34/foot sold in 1 foot intervals.

Give it a shot, you'll be glad you did!

if they haven't shipped yet you might want to look into spending a couple extra dollars to get the gold connections instead.
