Two questions. 1. Has anyone here taken mic cable to 100' in a natural setting in an unbalanced mode? I am specifically wondering about Sony MD walkman but...
... No, but it seems like a long ways to push such a tiny little signal with just plug-in power. Seems like you might have a pretty weak signal and/or a lousy...

I used Canare Star-Quad narrow profile L-4E5C. For stereo, I use a single cable with two XLR connectors at each end. I had several 200' cables made for me and...
