Tube mic cable from mouser?

So im ordering a bunch of stuff from mouser for my mk47 tube microphone build. I was wondering if any of you know of a suitable cable for tube microphones from them?

Thanks!

The thing is Mouser doesn't seem to sell cable by the meter... You would need to buy a full spool, which ruin the savings you may make by ordering from only one shop...

I donno about europe, but in the US redco has all the goodies:

Gotham cable sells direct, now are the shipping charges good dunno:

Has anyone found a good tube mic cable with a proper braided screen?

The mogami, gotham & somer all have one or two spiral screens.

What's wrong with dual spiral?

It's more a cosmetic thing than functional, but I don't much like the way that spiral screens bunch up to form kinks and bumps after a few years of studio use and abuse.

This is the case for the Mogami and Gotham, which we have quite a lot of in our studio.

(I can't comment on the Sommer - I was sent a sample to try, but they only sent a meter so it didn't get used yet!)

I too have only experienced the Gotham and Mogami...

Apart Sommer, there seems to be another player in the game. Accusound. According to Oliver Archut,
it has been "modeled after the old EMT cable that was built to the specifications of the IRT and used in
broadcast applications throughout Europe"

Accusound says on their webshop that this cable has "Quad -Helix Copper Shielding System"

Quite expensive, but maybe worth a try...

I'm planning to use Canare Star Quad for mine, available pretty cheap at markertek. It's only five conductors, but I believe that would be enough, right?

If starquad works, i could raid my fathers work, and buy a couple of meters from him... hmm....

Perhaps not worth to skimp on cable tho, when the mic parts alone are like 1000$...  ;D

I don't think it would be skimping. Each conductor (I believe) is 22 gauge copper. The shield is really excellent, and tightly braided.
And, as far as I understand, there's no reason to have more than 5 conductors anyway. Canare Star quad is really well made stuff. There are two versions, however. I would get the thicker version.

Anyway, I've used the gotham cable as well. It's fine, but I still think I'll use Star Quad for this project.

I've done a few tube mics with the Canare starquad.

If it has enough conductors for your design then it will work fine. Canare starquad is lovely cable IMO.

Has anybody has any experience with the gotham cable gac-4/1?

It seems elfa has it, and thats just a busride from me.
