aardvark baguette Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I bought mogami gold RCAs a long time ago, and use them. I will need longer cables soon for new mono amps, and they need to be XLR. I found a 2 foot 'patch cable' from Mogami that I will use from source to preamp, but long runs are identified as 'microphone cable'. I want to be sure I'm not unwittingly running some crazy out-of-spec cords from my pinnacle to future power amps with microphone cable, as identified by Mogami. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002E1P30/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LNN2EQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is the same shit, right?

Pars Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 All of the Canare, Mogami, Belden, etc. bulk cable suitable for ICs is termed microphone cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 sweet. i won't have money for fancy dancy audiophile cables, the amps are going to take all my discretionary money for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 the mogami has the word 'gold' in it though. GOLD, JERRY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Microphone cables are actually better, because they're designed for weak signals over long runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaming oranges Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 The key with this issue is just to not use them for digital XLR and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 They're fine for aes over xlr too. That's how the aes standard was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
