Would it be cheaper to make it? It's over $50 per a cable if I purchase it online. So I plan to make it because I need 2.

I looked into making extensions for my 4060s a while back. The tool and the dies to crimp the ends were something crazy like $400! I ended up buying a pair directly from DPA for $30 each. Kind of pricey for what they are, but they are well made.

From the online search they cost over $50 plus shipping. Can you send me the link where you purchased yours from? Cannot seem to find any place selling them for $30. Thanks!

I got them directly from DPA USA in Colorado.

DPA Microphones, Inc., 2432 North Main Street, Suite 200,
Longmont CO 80501, USA
TEL: +1 303 485 1025



My 4022's were in for a check up and I asked the tech if he could send me a set of cables (DAO6005) along with my mics.  This was a couple of months ago, maybe there was a price increase due to currency exchange rates?

Edit to add: I just found the invoice, I paid $35 for each cable.
