Okay y'all, I have a dumb question, hope you don't mind me asking it. I scoured the archives but couldn't come up with an answer. I can see what actives look like, I can see about what they cost, etc., but I have no idea what they actually *do*, and why one would use them, except for making a smaller profile setup.
Can anyone give me a brief synopsis of what active cables do, and what their benefits are? Are they more responsive than using mic bodies? That kind of stuff.
Much obliged!
peace,
Keith
