[TenTec] Long mic cables for Studio 1 on boom

[Dean Showalter]

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. I had some RF feedback problems I traced
to the cable. The new cable Heil sells is super!  The connectors are easy to
wire. Cable aint cheap but Its certainly my choice for mic cable.
