all right i'm dave rat and let's see how far we can run some audio signals down supercat
and supercat sound cables i've got a cool setup here where i've got some mics 58 c414
neumann u89 i've got them run into this mic swapper so that i can select between
a very short cable run that goes right into the mixing board or whatever cables i've connected
to the second channel of it and um yeah let's listen to and check out running phantom power
and some audio signals down some longer cable runs, over here i've got 24 100 meter
cables eight 100 meter cables is about a half a mile so this is about a mile and a half of
cat5e cable i've got a bunch of rolls of supercat violet supercat black and S
Supercat sound in the blue and um let's give it a check out um so hey hey two two two there's a mic
and that's a 58 going into it all right let's just go listen to this with mike's so we got
uh 58 in a short cable run and 58 down 100 meters which is what i've got hooked up right now
let's try c414 down 100 meters no surprises here
i should just be fine two two two one two and 100 meters hey hey hey one two one two cool cool and
u89 at a short cable run hey hey hey one two one two and a hundred meters one two one two uh notice
how we get the silent switching with phantom power between the two that's really cool the
swapper will do that but as we get to these longer cable runs let's see what happens so that was 100
meters let's go one two three four five six seven eight hundred meters about a half a mile of cable
see what happens start with a 58 2 2 2 and there we go that's um 800 meters one half mile and
switching to short cable run hello hello hello short short short and going 2 2 2 2 long long
long hey all right works with a dynamic let's try uh c414 see if we can get phantom power that far
two two two and we are short short short and we're going to long long long hello hello hello hello
short torture long long long two two two two two two two uh sounds pretty good and similar to me
uh phantom power signal doesn't seem to be an issue
let's try u89 it's got a little more draw on the juice here one two and short cable run hey hey
and half mile of cable all right well that worked let's go longer that was 800 meters
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 100 meters this will be about a mile we'll double it
start with 58
hello hello hello two two two short short short short short long long long
long hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey oh we can hear a little difference i think but
um not a heck of a lot see what a 14. i'm going to skip the 414 go straight to the Neumann
two two two one two had a mile and at very short hello hello hello
hello hello hello two two two two two two cool um let's do the full mile and a half
so here i'm going to add in eight more 100 meter runs these are the Supercat Sound version
they're all in coils and even though they're coiled up coils you know they're not laid out flat
shouldn't make any difference whatsoever but if it did make a difference the coils
should actually be a make things worse and not better oh and let's try 58 at short hey hey hey
two two two and there's a 58 short cable run and 1.5 miles of cable hey hey hey
i am hearing a slight cable a sight volume drop there let's go right to the Neumann
two two two one two and that's a short cable run and that there is 1.5 miles of cable
i'll keep talking as i switch short short short short short long long long two two two long two
two two two two short short short hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey uh you're a slight drop
sounds slightly duller but um yeah mile and a half of cable it's a good run but 7600 7800 feet
all right um i think we could go longer but that's for another day all right
