Rycote A5 boompole with DIY coiled cable?


mrkva

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

has anyone here tried to put their own coiled cable into a rycote boompole without one?

The construction seems almost the same. I only need the cable and cut the hole in the bottom.

Also - any tips on sourcing coiled cable? 

 

Thanks,

Jonas

mrkva: " And how did it go? Which coiled cable have you used? "

generally fine, and several various sources...

what you have to watch out for is the coils building up an inductance flux field.  too many turns, and your resonant field will collapse, and this tends to happen more often as the pole is extended..

I use a controlled array of anti resonant beads and the problem never arises.

If the people being boomed sing close harmony in the key of E, however, the spontaneous sympathetic vibrations can cause all havoc to break loose. Also, an energetic enigmatic fiddle player may have the same effect, so you have to be careful to avoid "violins in the street."
