[TenTec] Long mic cables for Studio 1 on boom

[John T. Gwin]

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.

  Subject: [TenTec] Long mic cables for Studio 1 on boom


  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 story short, the
  cable with the mic is only 5 - 6' long, about 3' short of what it needs
  to be to run from the mic, along the boom, and then across to the rig. 
  For those of you who have this kind of arrangement, how did you solve
  this problem?  Did you build your own cable from Heil wire?  I emailed
  Heil and got a terse, three word reply from Bob - "Sorry, no
  'extenders.'"  I'm thinking I'll build my own cable, but would like to
  hear from others what they chose to do and how it worked for them.

          73,  Duane
