the sssnake SM10RD

There are only 2 kinds of mic cable really.. Those that are good enough, and those that are not. This one is good enough, and reasonably priced. It sounds the same as my Neutrik/Belden or Cannon/Belden cables, and, unless abused, should stay sounding good for a while.

The pros: it's "good enough" that I can't tell the difference, is competetively priced, and looks good too. (but why none in Green? I like Green for stereo pairs, Port and Starboard!) - good enough I'll be slipping a few more on my next order.

The cons: Ooops.. Sorry, can't find any. :-)

Want a good enough 10M M/F XLR cable? This is one.

These cables are excellent. That?s all you need to know. I needed a quick fix and they have worked very well indeed. Very strong and sturdy given the relative cheap price. I have yet to have any problems with these XLR's. They come in a couple of different colours which is great if you are working with a number instruments or microphones - colour coding stuff helps so much! Rather than buying something cheap, spend the extra few Pounds/Euros or whatever. Similarly if you are considering buying very expensive XLR's I would strongly consider taking a look at these because they are that good. Highly recommended.

Bought these for my drum kit. The red stands out so I don't confuse my cables with anyone else's in the band. I would like if they came with ties for wrapping up the cables. I think they would hold their shape if they did.
I'm not sure how consistent the size of the female end is as sometimes its very difficult to release it from the microphone. This is only a minor issue but in cases where time is at a premium it can hinder the load out process.
if used them for recording and after time (especially on a rim mount for drums) the vibrations cause a rattle on the line when recording. this made one of the cables un usable for mounted use.
I can imagine that more expensive cables do a better job but for the price they are great.
Cables seem to wear out anyways so why pay a crazy price.
