It's one of those things : It is a problem because it is perceived to be a
problem.
Must admit, ordering a spare break-out cable ('just in case') is on that
list of jobs 'to do' that never get done ;-)>
So the obsession with connectors (referred to yesterday) is I think from
two causes:
--mini-XLRs _look_ fragile
--fiddling to get the correct one of (?)24 possible permutations of the
four capsules to the snake is a ****! Especially in dim lighting ... and
you didn't bring a lamp ... and ...
So Core Sound's next product is awaited with interest !!!
To second Len, I must say I have only had one failure. Fortunately in the
pre-concert warm up, we discovered we were monitoring on only three
capsules.
The problem was at the mic end, _but_ was a standard XLR-XLR connection
... and that just shouldn't happen !
