I agree with the Canare microphone cable recommendation above. I had HAVE, Inc. assemble a set balanced IC's (~15' lengths) with premium grade Nuetrik XLR connectors at a decent price.
Is there an affordable long run XLR preamp to amp cable out there?
I'm currently using a pair of Oyaide Tunami XLR cables between my preamp and amplifier(s). I'd love to get an affordable pair of XLR cables to use with other amps 20 feet away, eliminating a need to have 2 complete set ups. No deep pockets here... are there any affordable, good sounding long run XLR preamp to amp cable out there?

I’m very happy with 25-foot cables made with Mogami W2549 and Neutrik XLRs, put together to order by Pro Audio LA. (I think the pair ran $105, including freight.) I recently auditioned some "audiophile" $2200 cables and they were not nearly as good sounding as the Mogami cable. These run between preamp and amp in my system. Tip: Most pro audio shops (including the one listed) can put red rings onto the XLRs of one cable for only a couple of bucks more. |
Van den Hull. That's what Pink Floyd used when they finally figured out that cables mattered. Don't know what model. Atma-Sphere and BAT opinions are of little value unless you use their equipment. But if you decide to try a pro cable also give DiMarzio a try. Yngwie Malmsteen uses it with his guitars. I tried RCAs only not XLR - OK but nothing special, ridiculously inadequate compared to some Purist and Tchernov that I have. |
