OK to use TV coax for microphone?

If you are trying to use a balanced
mic, then the cable is unsuitable because it is unbalanced.
** Not true at all !!
There is NO reason not to use a (suitable) co-axial type cable with a
microphone - either low or high impedance.
Despite all the nonsense you WILL have read elsewhere, co-axial cables
have as good or better rejection of external hum and noise sources as do
balanced twin wire cables.
Try it out if you don't believe this.
Of course a proper microphone cable is SCREENED balanced twisted pair,
** Exactly what I was referring to above.
Mic cable IS a balanced twin wire cable.
Having trouble spotting the capital letters, are you? (yes, I saw yours,
and that is what prompted this question, the relevance obviously passed
you by).
A poorly screened coax cable such as TV coax has only a part of the first
of those
** It ain't necessarily poorly screened and it ain't necessarily what I just
posted about.
Do learn to read sometime - ****wit.
we know exactly what this cable is - and yes it is poorly screened. Do
try to follow the threads. And if you want to post about something else,
start a new thread.
has only a part of the first of those ..
** Not true of co-axial cable in general.
Do learn to read sometime - ****wit.
so this claim is clearly nonsensical.
** Not at all -
your irrelevant & asinine claims are nonsensical
- ****wit.
If it were true, professional microphone and mixer companies would not be
going to the trouble of designing balanced kit.
** More completely irrelevant nonsense.
Irrelevant is it? Tell that to Neve, Neumann, Shure, Sennheiser, Leevers
Rich - need I go on?
" Despite all the nonsense you WILL have read elsewhere, co-axial cables

Obviously YOU need to do this too - ****wit.
Since you are so PIG ignorant of the basic physics of co-axial cable.
I appear to have a vastly better grasp of the topic than you, not
surprising really when you consider that I have designed ultra low noise
microwave measuring equipment.
