1/4 inch right angle to XLR adapter

I hate cheap wire and really hate cheap connectors. I HATE using XLR's that are not made my Neutrik. Have you ever removed the cover on the end of a cheap cable? Do it and take a look, you'll never buy one again.

I have all my cables made locally by The Cable Factory. I am fortunate that they are located close to where I live. http://www.cablefactory.com/

I know that Bill at ESC makes and ships wicked good cables as well. If I had to pay for shipping, I would look at his as well. Buy quality cables, that is my advice.

Bill made some special speakon splitters for me recently and they were of the highest quality, built like tanks. Were made with top quality cable and connectors. If you are pre-wiring a custom cabinet, it means you care about your set up, you don't want to have to take it apart due to cable issues, call Bill.
 
or .. as someone mentioned .. buy the parts from paretsexpress.com and make your own. If you have some existing mic cables, that might mean only cutting off one end and soldering on a 1/4" TRS right-angle connector.

I've got a couple around here someplace that I had made years ago, and I don't need them. The quarter inch male is TRS. They weren't cheap, because I had them custom built. Can't remember off hand where I ordered them from.

Quality cables last... I have cables I bought used from an A/V rental shop, must be 30 years ago and they still work great! I tried buying a couple specialty cables off Ebay and they all broke within a year. But then, they were inexpensive. All my everyday cables have been from the Cable Factory, many of which were bough 15 to 20 years ago and they all work great; Neutrik baby!

I try to make my own all the time, but if I don't have time I'll drop the cable and connectors with a note saying what I need at mu father's place. He takes the stuff to his business and he has his computer tech puts them together for me. He does amazing work and knows how picky I am.
 
One thing to add to the toolbox is a cable tester. Yes you can do continuity testing pin by pin, but a cable tester (a good one) will test all pins quickly and will also show shorts.

This Velleman is a decent one, though for those using powered speakers, you probably don't need the double set of Speakons (4 pole and 8 pole) .. $47 on Amazon: 41RUpmGVo8L.jpg

I must agree with all the above. Quality cables are a must have. With all the other things that can go wrong at an event, I just try to have as few problems as possible, with good cables that one less thing to worry about.:headbang:
 
Steve,
does that tester only test cables with similar ends?
I have 1/4" to Neutrik cables for my speakers.

No .. every jack is interconnected up to the number of pins it has. So you can test an RCA to 1/4, or a 1/4 to SPeakon, or a 1/4TRS to XLR, etc.
