Over the last week or so I've purchased a Studio 1 microphone and a Heil boom to get the microphone up off the desk top. (I keep smacking the desk mic when reaching for the key - hi!) Anyway, long st
Duane, Please let me know what responses you get. They told me the same thing. Ten-Tec sold me the mic and the boom arm, with no cure or answer for the too-short cable. -W4SK Over the last week or so
I use the short boom, and my TT Heil mic cable is a little too long. What you gonna do? :-) Seriously, my mic has an XLR connector. I assume yours does, too? I'd think that any XLR male-to-female mic
I built an extension using computer cable. Mounted a four pin mike connector in a small aluminum project box. The mike cord then plugs into the jack. Inside the box each wire is wound on small toroid
I am in the same boat, but did a mod to the rail on the boom by cutting a small slot in the plastic cover to allow the cable to come out from the middle and reach the rig. Doesn't look that bad, but
No cure? It's called "make your own cable". How hard can that be? I know that no one has a clue how to do anything anymore if you can't buy it on-line, but cables aren't exactly rocket science. Use
Hi Martin, I'm very concerned that the shielding and build quality on Rad Shack or music store cables might not be adequate. Also, remember that TT wires their 4-pin adapter with the PTT return to th
FORGET everything I said.. The Heil mic does NOT have a "normal" 3-pin XLR connector, as I thought. It has a 4-pin XLR connector. This is often used for power connections in audio work, from what I r
NQ5T, You are exactly right. For even asking the question, I deserved a condescending response. Thank you for jumping in there and giving me one. -W4SK No cure? It's called "make your own cable". How
This is the Canare cable I was referring to. It has tinned copper braid over a foil wrap. http://www.canare.com/index.cfm?objectid=79844442-3048-7098-AFAD046DCA18AAFA I probably have 100' of it runn
Hi Duane etal: I bought "Heil wire" mic cable to redo my boom HM-10 , that was equipped with the orginal cable from Heil. The original cable was pretty poor from a shielding/seperation point of view.
Thanks so much. It wasn't meant to be condescending. But blaming someone else for a cable (or lack of) that doesn't match your custom requirements is pretty silly. In another post, you will find I h
tear out the old wire and run a new one all the way to whatever you want!!!... I'm certain Bob would not consider that a warranty issue.....especially since he doesn't sell "extenders".... hmmm looks
Well, then that settles it. I'll use a Sennheiser 815 or one of my old Shure SM 58's. "Sorry, no extenders" = Sorry Bob, no sale. PEACE Scott / W4PJ -- Original Message -- <snip> ____________________
That's silly. In 15 minutes you can make a cable 9.743322 feet long if that's what you need. Like I said earlier, and don't mean it to be conscending ... But why oh why not just make a cable? Perhap

Buy the Cannon XLR connectors and make you own. No big deal. I do professional audio sound systems. How long you need the cable. I'll send you some wire. Might even have connectors installed when you

The word NORMAL and XLR are confusing to most folks as they think that XLR's are 3 pin connectors. Well, XLR's are made normally with 3 pins, normally with 4 pins and normally with 5 pins depending o
Thanks for the offer Bob. I have no trouble making the cable, I was just curious how others had worked around this issue. So far, there are three interesting options. As noted in an earlier append, I
Why is it silly? I already have a SM58 hooked up and it works great. If you ask me, since it's obvious that Heil has recieved numerous requests for an extender, his marketing department doesn't seem
