Here's a question for those that have or have had active mics...
Has anyone had any custom made high quality mini-XLRs made up? If so, who makes them? What's your experience with them?
The reason I'm asking is that the stock mini-XLR cable pair that comes with the MBHO actives looks and feels like it could eventually cause problems.
Also, in contemplating what my preferred setup will be, on the one hand, I've had lots of people recommend that I keep the mic bodies stashed and run the caps off-body as much as possible. On the other hand, the highest quality mic cables only seem to come with material that's too large in diameter to accomodate the mini-XLR connectors.
I'm taking the leap for high quality silver cables for running the mics on-body, but if a HQ mini-XLR isn't a possibility, then I'll probably run the HQ cable with the caps and the bodies together as my preferred setup so that I can use the HQ cable.
Further thoughts on the mini-XLR...I'm currently having someone make me up a spare set just so I don't need to rely on the one and only set I have (thanks Kevin), but the cable material isn't anything special. Finally, I've been communicating with Chris from Eugene Hi-Fi and he's looking into the possibilities on his end.
I'd appreciate any input on the experiences anyone else might have. Thanks.
