Is schon ganz nett hier aber ich fände Berlin interessanter... immerhin kommt man schnell nach Hamburg und relativ zügig nach Amsterdam.Grüße nach Bremen noch! Schöne Stadt.
(Ich hab' aber weniger Anlass für die Fahrt seit alle meine Konzerttickets storniert wurden)
The shorter, the better, 1.50 m is no problem... But in the 10m range shielding is important. I've got one cable from Cordial, it's a good quality, the other one I can't judge. The last cables I made myself, got it from Segor here in Berlin: very well-shielded RCA cable, great quality, think I payed for 10 m 7 Euros. I could't find it actually on Segor's site, they might only have in the shop, and trim it for your wanted length. But without a soldering iron it would't help you anyway. The cheap ready ones of Segor's I wouldn't recommend.
I've never had any issues with cordial either, only the "sssnake" cables from Thomann tend to be garbage. For custom cable I've made good experiences with Musik-Produktiv, well made and the price they quoted me was very similar to their prices for off-the-shelf cables of similar configuration (same cable stock & Neutrik NC3MXXB/FXXB connectors and proper colour coding on top).
I'm guessing these cheap 10m cinch cables from Amazon might be problematic, is there any reason not to use these DMX cables instead of ordinary XLR cables? The better shielding and lower capacitance should be beneficial and the 110 ohms characteristic impedance shouldn't be an issue or am I missing something?
I was going to supply my friend with cables from my pile (which would have saved him some money on TRS cables for the JBL/Mackie), I'm thinking of gifting him some decent cable so he doesn't skimp and regrets it later.
