Re: [Harp-L] What Cable?

[MARK BURNESS <markwjburness@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg,

Yes, that's what I am saying. A hi-Z unbalanced mic requires the same cable as a 
hi-Z guitar/instrument. The number of exclusively hi-Z, unbalanced mics produced 
today can be counted on one hand, therefore they are of little interest to the 
cable manufacturers who aim at the guitar/instrument market, rather than 
specifically at the hi-Z mic market.


Hi Ron, I'm sure the cable that Chuck supplies is great & very well 
made/finished, but I doubt that the cable stock itself (conductors, dielectric, 
shielding) is exclusive to him & made specifically for microphones, rather than 
for "hi-Z instruments/guitars".

Mark, Instruments like electrics guitars ARE unbalanced, high impedance devices, 
just like microphones.

Instrument leads tend to sound clearer, these are rarely
