Are microphone cables all created equal?? I'm in the process of setting up a small studio to record a radio show. I've got a few shure microphones (57s or 58s) but I've also got a few condenser microphones. I have 4 mic cables and only 2 of them seem to be working with the condensers.
To use the condensers (with 48v phantom power on the mixer), do I need a specific type or just a high quality cable? I was switching on the phantom power on the board and the condenser would work for a little while and then the volume would begin to fade out until there was nothing. After I switched to a different cable -- the phantom power now stays on.
