On the market you can find a lot of different brands of microphones with different prices and different quality. Finding a flexible, quiet and good-sounding microphone cable with an reliable price is very hard to do. With a high quality cable microphone users can feel much more secure during a performance or when recording in the studio. With a decent experience at my back, in this article we will go through the most important facts that you will need to know when choosing a microphone cable.
I do not say I am an expert for microphone cables, but I know the difference between a good quality microphone and a dull one. Unless you own a private studio, with the best EQ and compression equipment available and to get the best sound from your recordings you will need to own the best cable microphone retailers have to offer. On the other hand, if you are like me and own an amateur recordings studio investing in an expensive cable feels too heavy on the pocket.
From personal experience I have tried a lot of brands of microphone cables and I have come to this conclusion – All cable give you good sound quality, the only difference is that some will last longer than the others. Always look for the middle price – those mic cable always posses a good durability give an okay sound quality and are with a normal price. You probably wonder - what is a normal price? Well the fact is the prices vary from $5 up to $150. If you are professional then you will need to buy a XLR mic that starts from $150 (but keep this is the starting price, if you want to use it as stage you will need a lot of meters and the prices rises also). If you are an semi-pro then you will spend around $30-$60 dollars. For amateurs I recommend buying a cheap microphone cable, because if you ask me I would never invest in something if it is just for fun and LOLs.
Not all microphone cables are created equal! Whether there is a difference in the thickens or materials used, they may last longer or they can give you a better warranty finding the one that suit you the best is easy. Do not get distracted by the tons of features that manufactures put on the boxes, some of them are standards and the most popular brands do not even put them in the box. If you say there is difference between some cables, then you must have a gift – one in a million or you you are just fooling yourself and the only difference is their longevity.
