seen microphonic effects in small-signal cables, but that's an

studio-grade microphone cables (as opposed to the 'high end' brands
which just have cable made up by Belden etc.).

Now what does this mean? We make good mic cables for ourself but poor cables
for private labeling?

Not what I meant at all, simply that many of the 'high end' brands (as
you well) know, are simply rebadged Belden cable, possibly with the
addition of a fat and colourful outer jacket. I have the greatest
respect for Belden cables, and I apologise if I was unclear on this
point.

I don't think that's accurate. We've been making cable
for 101 years and microphone cable since electrical recording came in, so I
doubt there's any cable effect we don't know about and take into consideration
with each new design.

I'm sure that's the case, and I've certainly never seen any of the
amazing 'science' quoted by Cardas, MIT et al in the Belden catalogue!
