I was in a cable building mood and it struck me... I could make some small form factor connectors on a single stereo pair of cables. It would make it easier to adjust the UA-5... and nothing to get tangled and less in the bag. This is what I came up with. 5" Y with Male XLRs on one end (they almost always plug in together, don't they?) the other end has a 18" Y to XLR Female connectors. I can run mics on both ends of a MarkBar and thats as long as I need to go. Its not perfect in every situation but it works for for 90% of "lets throw a stereo pair up" recording.
