Greetings -
Based on advice I have received here as well as information I have read, I have just invested in my first LDC, an AT3035 for $130. I will be using this primarily for vocals, and will be getting a pair of SDCs for acoustic not too far down the road.
Anyway, my "studio" is in my home office. However, this is likely not the best place for me to record vocals with a condensor given its layout and lack of sound proofing. The best place, I believe, is my bedroom walk in closet, with a low ceiling and every wall sans one completely covered with hanging clothes...there is no echo at all in there. But to get there, I would need a mic cord of at least 30'
So my question is, in buying a cord of at least that length, are there any special issues that need to be considered compared to buying a shorter 10 or 15' cord, such as extra shielding, better quality cable, better quality connectors, etc? I am not sure that I buy into the Monster cable hype, but if you can recommend a good quality cable/brand for that length, it'd be appreciated.
Thanks, Mark
