Hi guys... I'm trying to figure out how best to fabricate my own 12-conductor cabling for an experimental dual LDC (solid-state, ala C422) remote multi-pattern mic. Budget's kind of low right now, so I'm thinking of bundling 3 or 4 lengths of mini star quad and/or lavalier cable. So, a few questions:
Is individual shielding needed for the pattern-switching wiring (max. length 25 ft) or would twisted pairs/threes suffice?
Things to watch out for (high impedance/resistance/screening problems) in wiring for remote pattern-change?
One last question: If pots are used instead of switched resistors, any concerns about DC on the potentiometer tracks? Always seemed iffy to me, but of course the infinitely-variable pattern idea is very appealing.
Thanks! Great site BTW 8>)
cheers
