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 cable should serve well as
an extender. For example, at bhphotovideo.com > Audio Professional >
Cables. You can get a 1.5 or 3 footer for $10 and a 15 footer for
$17, etc. You can visit your local music store, or make your own out
of RadShack parts. You want to keep it as short as possible to avoid
RF pickup.
