I want to buy an extender cable or a replacement cable. What should I get?
Third Party Replacement Cables:
A good option for replacement cables are those from Pro Audio LA. They can be ordered in lengths from 2 feet up to 55 feet and ship worldwide.
Pro Audio LA - Sphere L22 Microphone Cable
Other options can be found at Thomann.
Pro Snake Stereo Y-Cable - 5 meter
Pro Snake Stereo Y-Cable - 3 meter
Third Party Extension Cables:
The simplest option is to just use two standard 3-pin XLR cables as an extender. Generally, this is what we recommend since you probably already have that. But there are also 5-pin extender cables if you prefer.
Cable Techniques CT-PX-510 Premium Stereo Microphone Cable - 10' (3.04m)
Remote Audio Starquad XLR 5-Pin (25-feet) (7.62m)
Ambient Recording MKS8 XLR-5 Female to XLR-5 Male Stereo Microphone Cable (26.24')
Cable Techniques CT-PX-550 Premium Stereo Microphone Cable - 50' (15.24m)
Make sure you do NOT buy a 5-pin cable that says it’s intended for use with DMX lighting systems. Usually, with those cables, not all five pins are wired.
