Cable suggestion?!?
« on: February 05, 2006, 08:06:20 PM »
So I just recently upgraded my equipment and was hoping someone could help me with some XLR cable suggestions. I have limited funds, but don't want to skimp on cables.
I was told Kind Kables was a good way to go. So I was looking through their site and found these, http://kindkables.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=27 ,any comments/experience on these? Is there a plus to have the right angle connector going into the UA-5? Any comments and or other suggestions?

 I saw this website posted in one of the forums for cables, so are these any good: http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=2029&sku=40060 , or are they basically similar to Whirlwind cables?

 Or is there someone who makes nice cables in the community for around the $40- $60 range?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shawn

do a search if you have any doubts.  many people have posted positive reviews of his cables.

The cables you posted from kindcables (black stealth) are $65 with free shipping - that is basically in your range since you could expect at least $5 shipping on a $60 pair of cables. If you want cheaper, build them yourself or get them off Ebay. But unless you have lots of experience with a soldering iron and cable building, I think paying a bit more for a pair built by a pro is worth it. I also think that you'd like this thinner diameter cable because it packs up much smaller. I know I did when I went from regualr star quad to mini star quads. As far as right angles go, it all depends on how you plan to set up at a concert. Since the UA5 has front XLRs, I don't think it is as big a deal to have straight xlrs since you'll probably keep your bag open. Unless you have a shure bar, I would reccomend right angle female ends for your C4s (it would still  be nice with a shure bar though).

EDIT: I can't comment on how the cables would affect your sound since I've never used those particular cables.

 Which ones are the interconnects? I have heard good things about his cables from reading through the board.
