Making Quality XLR Cables #4 - Quad Mic Cables (Public)

Описание: In this video I terminate a quad conductor mic cable and discuss various aspects of making mic cables, tinning, shrink wrap tricks, and more

The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to make quad mic cables that allow multiple microphones to connect to a single input. The process involves using braided shields, neutral connectors, and strain relief to ensure proper labeling, easy pairing of wires, and clean soldering of the wires to the connector. The video also highlights the importance of using clean and wet solder and offers tips on how to test the shrink wrap and check every possible fault for an XLR cable. By following these guidelines, users can create high-quality XLR cables that are resistant to humidity and corrosion.
