Default Star Quad Cable Wiring (Canare)

----------------


May I clarify, my whole studio is wired with Canare star quad cable and
I have *zero* hum.


Mine isn't, and I have zero hum !


** Painted it all green - right ?


However, I have two cables which were custom made with a TRS male
Switchcraft connector to two Neutrik XLRs for exactly like the situation
I have now except it was for a stereo output of an old Fender Princeton
Chorus and I have noticeable hum when I cranked the gain when I hooked
it up to the keyboard. Both cables. Maybe I had some hum back then and
didn't notice at the time. I am cranking gains now for test purposes.


Never heard a Fender Princeton that didn't emit hum and/or noise when
'cranked' ! Or pretty much any guitar amp for that matter, moreso any
valve/tube ones.

** All SS, budget model, 2 x 25W power channels and 2 x 10 speakers.

Can operate as a stereo "slave amp".
