But do they sell by the meter? Jasee seems to want only a small amount.

What you do with mic cable is buy a reel and put a connector on each
end. When you just want a small amount, you don't unwind it. When you
want a lot, you unwind it. Easy.

You've not been involved much with mic cables, have you? ;-)

More than I care to say. Actually I would modify what I wrote. I
divide the reel into two, and make a stereo pair wound on the reel. I
unwind that as needed. I leave a few feet hanging out of the middle so
I can plug into the mixer easily.

Just stay away from live sound will you ? You'd have lawsuits from all the ppl
who tripped over the reels.



The reels stay nicely tucked away under the desk - nobody is going to
trip over them.


Yes, you're clearly not familiar with live sound at all.


Only from the playing point of vie, I'm afraid.
