Cables, Connectors, and Studio Wiring

Send us a text


We all need cables and connectors to tie all our mics and other
equipment together. There are many places where problems can be
introduced into your recording, caused by improper wiring. Even
when everything appears to be working properly, poor wiring and
connector practices can cause subtle problems that make your
recordings less than they could be.


In this episode, I talk about how we came to use the balanced
audio lines in our studios, and why we have the connectors we
use. I explain why it is vital that we make or buy quality cables
and connectors, and why esoteric, very expensive cables are
unlikely to sound any better.


There are some hints on how to troubleshoot cable and wiring
problems, based on the problem you hear. And some practical
suggestions to keep your cables in good condition, and how to run
them around your studio.


Thanks for all your comments, questions, and suggestions. They
are appreciated.
