Can you daisy-chain XLR cables?
Posted by Jeremy Wiles on March 29, 2007 at 6:01 pmI’m trying to run a long enough cable to my boom mic from my camera. Is it possible to connect two 18 foot xlr cables to make one long cable, or does this somehow effect the audio?
Thanks,

Do we have to discuss the possible “horrors” of hooking two CABLES together?
Heck, he might TRIP over the extra length of the 50-footer… better get a 40.
