Cable Confusion

Posted on

Member Since: Sep 25, 2003

My setup so far is thus:

A Studio Projects B-1 condenser mic, a lo Z cable (does that mean it's XLR??), a Marshall AS50R Acoustic Amp, and a Behringer Eurorack 1202 mixer. So far.

My question is: what kind of cable would I need to go from the mixer to the amp (and vice versa)? I'm looking for something mid-range. Within a week or two, my setup will also include an MAudio Delta-44 card, and possibly an FMR RNCompressor. What is the typical mid-range cable product to connect these? Also, I saw a Blue Kiwi mic cable on sale for 34 bucks... will that really make a big difference in sound from the lo Z cable?

I'm getting a good handle on all this other stuff, but I'm generally clueless about cables.
Help?

Thank you!

basically, get the best cables you can afford - with all the equipment in the world, if the cables are poor, your sound'll be poor.

dunno about that low-z cable, but it oughta be good for $34!

Are you talking the mixer outs to the reference poweramp, or from an instrument amp to the mixer (which you shouldn't do unless it's a "direct out")? Look at the jacks on both pieces of gear and justget one that fits at both ends, which ever the case...
