If you are up for making your own cables, I'd suggest the switchcraft right-angle RCA connectors.  that's what I use, and it fits perfectly, nice and tight, definitely no room for it to be jostled at all.

Jeff-

If you use a cable with a decent end you should be ok.

Got a right angle from LeeGeddy that fits in there fine. (not sure of the maker of the end, can give a look tonight)

And my homemade digi cable using belden 1506a and Canare F10 ends fits fine also.

Good luck!

I got my cable from core sounds, it fits perfect.

Robbie was patched out of the SBD. It was a guy perhaps 6' tall and around 30 years old.

Also, I have done further testing and the major problem was from the Hosa connector into the V3!!! I solved the problem by using a right angle splitter. No static at all and I tested it by tugging on all of the connections.

I was at Dougaroo 1 & 2..... but ran off the soundboard each time...... so I wasn't the Schoeps guy.  Possibly Jimbo Pollock, but not me.  Although I am now running some Schoeps I have on loan.....  MK4 > KC5 > CMC6 > V2 > PMD671.... pretty sweet.

Don't tug too hard!

Yes, that was the start of my many headaches since my MT2496 purchase. I feel confident all the bugs are worked out now.

Here is my souvenier from my V3 incident that Brian mentioned:
