Can’t believe no one’s said if you’re spending $1200 bucks on this thing, you can probably drop $60 on some cables.

- kennywinker 5y agoIt’s not about the cost of cables. It’s about the inconvenience of only some cables working. What happens if you lose/forget a cable, or if one dies on you while you’re out in the world using it? It’s much easier to replace a 3.5mm cable than it is to replace a 3.5mm cable that has a pretty narrow spec to it.
- bombcar 5y agoIt’s also about what people will have. Walk into any show in the world and they’ll have XLR, and most productions will have 3.5 in their bag of tricks. But a specialized cable is something you’ll have to depend on yourself for. This is actually an advantage in some cases - if you have an iPhone for example there’s very likely to be someone nearby with a charger just because how common they are.
