Okay, so I just purchased a new condenser mic and I am very happy with the overall quality of it. However, the instruction manual recommends using only cables with gold platted connectors, as the mic has gold platted contact points throughout. I have used the mic on several occasions now with just a regular XLR cable and love the sound but I don't want the mic to be damaged by not using a cable with the gold platted connectors. Does anyone know if using just a regular cable could cause any damage to the mic itself? Sound quality isn't my main concern, as I think it sounds great with the regular cable. Thanks!
