Short XLR Cables for DVX users.

i don't want to hijack this thread if the original poster is still interested in doing this. but if not, i can make these. i used to work at a music shop and made hundreds of cables. for this i could use either neutrik or switchcraft connectors, either straight or right angle. for cable i would probably use mogami or canare. not sure exactly what it would cost but i think selling them for $15 would cover costs and put a little profit in there.
 
well the original poster hasn't been on the board for over two years..... so i guess i'll jump in here. anybody that wants short xlr's or any other kind of custom cable, chime in here or PM me. if i can get enough people interested to justify ordering a spool of cable and a bunch of connectors, i will do it.
 
Well, I seriously would like a high quality 10" XLR to XLR cable.

And I think that hundreds of others would as well.

So, someones sitting on a gold mine... IMO
 
i wish i had ran across this thread when i needed a shortie xlr cable. luckily i found a place here in town that made me one for 12 bucks. i have the rite angle on one end and straight on the other. i love the braided one.

Would there be a place like that in most towns? Like a music store?

it's possible. a mom n pop store that does repairs might help you out. no way you will get any help at a guitar center or sam ash.

what about this one i found at b&h? it's 18" and under $20 with one right angle end.....

Thats decent, but for a on camera shotgun (NTG-1) there will be to much slack all over your hands, IMO. With a tripod I don't think it would matter of course, but I will be shooting both ways, probably more hand held than not.

Last time I was in the UK I had a 10" made in a electronics shop there, but it had a small buzzing to it, so I could not use it in the end...

Im telling you, me, and alot of more people are looking for this kind of thing. If someone started making these, and bought a sponsorship to sell them on this site they could make quite a bit of extra money!
 
I would definitely be in for a couple of short, braided, right angle cables. Is this going to happen?
 
this may happen. i'm getting some interest.

i need to check on braided cable. i found some and it's from a decent supplier. it's good cable, just not the best. i prefer mogami or canare and i haven't found any braided stuff from them yet. the cloth sheath serves no purpose on a short cable like this other than aesthetics. so would you guys rather have the best cable out there, or the coolest looking decent cable out there? one thing, the braided stuff is much more money than the regular stuff so the price may increase a little. thanks for all the feedback. i will be checking this frequently and possibly ordering the supplies on monday...

the one place i went to was a mom and pop shop here in cc tx. its called accent audio video. there is a place here in town called altex they have stores in sanantonio and austin not sure if they have more than that. now there is a place the dallas area called kenedys eng, (not sure if its kennedys eng) they are great place kinda like b&h but on a smaller scale who can do it. also frys in the dallas area might help. i hope these places and cities can help you. if you websites let me know.
 
I would also like to have a short cable with right-angle connectors. The "short" cable I now have is too long and gets in the way. I didn't realize that they could be easily custom made.
 
Anyone out there still making these short cables? I'm needing one or I guess a second for backup! Would also like to have the male end as a right angle. Please email me if you do.
