Decay Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 So I am doing some reading on cables and star-quad cables have come up. I am wondering if anyone has switched from balanced XLR to Star-quad inside of a Location bag/cart setup and found any noticeable/measurable difference? Currently I am using an SD 633 with Lectro 411a's and when necessary, G4s of the 100 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey LaCroix Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 You most likely won’t notice a difference at such short lengths. Especially if you run your wireless at line level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Rowand Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 I use Redco TGS-1 inside the bag and quad outside. No issues yet… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Reineke Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 I was always partial to the Canare cables... flexible, silky smooth and a pleasure to work with. If your build them yo'self, the Starquad L-4E6S is about $0.50 a foot and L-2T2S two conductor is a little less, add about $5 for a pair of the Neutrik NC3XX XLRs and your good to go . I have not heard any issues with the two conductor Canare but most of mine are Starquad since the price is close and XLRs are easy to solder. I use the Canare L-2E5 mini two conductor for cart and bag interconnects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 If you need really small starquad try Belden 1804a. Great for TA3 cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have suggested, there really is not much of any advantage using star quad in a bag... my 2 cents on this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Patterson Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 FYI, I bought 4 different types. All the recommended cables here, and for our intents and purposes we will not hear a difference. The best cable is the thinnest and softest, but still strong. I suggest making two cables from different types of cable and having options. Once you get started it’s almost easier to make 3 cables than just one. Most pro pro audio cables provide some sort of RFI rejection. Just do not buy speaker wire from the hardware store. Cheers D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
