Giant Squid Iriver mic cable
Hey guys and gals,
We just purchased an iRiver 890 through eBay and I was looking at the lav mics offered from Giant Squid. I see that the cables rangein length from 1 ft to 5 ft, with minimal cost difference. For those of you using these, what length did you purchase? It seems like 5ft of cable would be difficult to stuff away, but I could see some advantages depending on the situation. Do you lose quality with longer cables? Looking to purchase, just making sure I get the right one. Our main use of thew iRiver will be for wedding vows and other smaller voice needs. Thanks again |

Get the 5, you'll be glad you did. Rolling it up on an old solder or telephone wire cable spool is a great way to store it,and the flanges of the spool protect it. Just for the span alone...nice to have it.

BTW, they'll make it any length you want for an extra couple of bucks. Just email him directly before ording. He'll also throw on a right-angle mini plug if you want for a few extra more. I bought a 13' mono omni with right-angle plug just for using as a quick and dirty lav setup for my GS400. It's the perfect length to just clip onto someone and tape.

Power?
I just bought one too, and I have two questions:
I see Giant Squid offers powered and unpowered mics. Do you need a powered mic to use with the iRiver? Also, what sort of cables / adapters would I need to tie into a sound board with the iRiver? |
