[Harp-L] Signal Loss Using Long Cables with a Hi-Z Bullet Mic

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Rick,
	Once upon a time i used to use an Astatic  hi-z bullet mic with a  
15' cord and (when needed) a 15' extension (total: 30')  with no  
signal degradation.  I also have  used a hi-z Shure green bullet w/ a  
20' cord and no signal degradation.  Eventually, I came to  my senses  
and stopped using bullet mics regularly.  But, in my experience,  
you'll definitely be okay with a 30' cable.  But, that may be close  
to the practical limit according to what I've been told, although i  
have no first hand experience with anything longer than 30 feet.

How long can your mic cable be with a Hi-Z Bullet Mic before you start
actually hearing signal degradation?  I don't mean the rule of thumb,  
I mean
what limit have you observed yourself through your own experience?
