Hello.
I just made two cables about 30 feet long. The cable is what was on the roll at the store (I live in Mexico, BTW) . The cable says that it is 2 X 24. The shielding is copper (colored, at least). THe connectors are Switchcraft that I took off some other old cables. The soldering points all seem decent but I am getting a fierce hum out of the sound system (this is a live sound question, BTW).
Is there some trick I don't know about the soldering or is the cable just bad? I've got red to 1, black to 2 and shield to 3 on both ends. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for the help
