for a neumann option.....
Nick makes neumann cables, he can make you a KCY cable, i have one he made, it is perfect, and you can then get an IPA that has 50db instead of 60v polarization voltage, which is what neumanns use, and you can also have him invert the polarity in that when i run the neumanns on the KCY the polarity is flipped on both mics. this only comes into play when you are running a multi mic mix and the neumanns will be out of phase from the other mics
so yah, drop nick a line, the work he did on my cables was amazing
