Thanks, Don - that's brilliant. Unfortunately, I don't
live anywhere near a shop that sells screened twin
cable.


Ebay sells ready made cables that are made in China and
they're probably cheaper than you could make one
yourself.

If you already have the connectors, the wire and a
soldering iron, I seriously doubt that.

Depends on how you cost your time I guess ! Wouldn't take
much for sure.

I can't believe all the smoke and fire just because the guy doesn't want
to get a piece of 2 conductor shielded wire.

In a pinch, I've made my own from a piece of 1 conductor shielded wire,
by pulling the center conductor and replacing it with twisted bell
wire.

The twisted bell wire will work ok without a screen for dynamic mics -
assuming reasonably short runs in a normal area without high levels of
interference. And I'd say a short run is all you'd manage to make with
this idea. ;-)
