cmassey Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 As I do 99.9% of my work with the mixer never leaving the bag, and run all but one of my inputs line level from 411A or SRb, I have very successfully used RG-174 coax for audio cables. Very thin, light, flexible and shielded nicely. Building DIY right angles this weekend and just wondering if anyone a bit more technical has a good reason this is not a good thing. gracias....cleve I might add, of course for not long runs, but the 6-8 inch jumpers needed from receiver to mixer input!

Eric Toline Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 If it's not broke don't fix it. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmassey Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 My mantra most of the time Eric...but want those nice, low profile DIY right angle male XLRs into the mixer! Keeps that left side from getting jammed going thru doors, into the Pelican case, etc. Well that and it is slow around here, so time for projects. Of course the weekend is upon on us, so fishing takes center stage! cleve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Speaking of fishing, here's a mixer friend with his tiger fish in Africa and me with a king fish caught here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Cleve - no reason to change if it works for you - but Mogami has some very nice miniature cables. Please check out their website for details, 2.5mm two core shielded cable and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "coax" do you mean just 2 connections --- ground and hot? So, not a balanced connection? I know that balanced connection is important for long runs and less so for the short run you are making, but I thought there were other benefits of a balanced connection (like hum rejection, etc.).
