I'm going to make up long runs for stereo mics using standard (not stereo) Star-quad.
I don't know the twist pattern of the conductors, or even if it matters.
I was planning on using 1 blue and 1 white for each channel. I just wondered if the twist pattern of the conductors might affect crosstalk.
I'm probably getting WAY too obsessive; just thought I'd pick a few brains. ;D
Thanks,
Dave

Not my first choice for stereo cables.. This is...Mogami W2528 http://www.performanceaudio.com/cgi/product_view.cgi?products_id=6393
You can use starquad But you are better off with the cable above if you have to make Y connections. If you dont you can use Star quad. Use one set color for one side and the other color for the other side.
You can also use two separate cables with a techflex jacket if you want it to look slick.

For short run 25' I use a single standard Canare Starquad cable (L-4E6S) wired 5 pin to 5 pin and break it out at the recorder.
Here are the pin conventions I used. Be sure to use a meter or continuity tester of some sort so you don't mix up your blue-white pairs and use one pair for each channel.
1 - shield
2 - blue
3 - white
4 - blue
5 - white
You can use smaller Starquad Canare (L-4E5AT) for the Y-breakout, two of these cables will fit into a Neutrik NC*FX connector.
For longer runs though I use a break out at the mic and then run 2 separate Canare Starquad (L-4E6S) cables to the recorder.
