So when Y'all are using the rean, etc. mini-XLRs, what cable are you using? I have the standard star quad from both mogami and canare, and both seem to be 1-2mm larger than the largest jacked diameter that rean says works with their XLRs. I have verified this myself my dint of spending about forty minutes trimming bits off of the clamp/chuck part, and other such things. How do you make this work? Or is the answer just buy some skinnier cable?
look at my photo again
i'm using stock grado cable
i trim about 1/2" (or enough to cover with the blue strain relief)
and just the 4 inner wires without the outer insulation and sheilding
to fit the connector over, if the threaded end doesn't fit that and be trimmed
does that make sense?
in other words only the inner wires get clamped and only the threaded part covers the full width of the star quad
