Maybe simply using cable ties to bundle cables would be better for quietnes=
s.
I've used Kevlar mesh gloves. They were flexible, but I never
thought of them as soft. The Kevlar fiber was pretty coarse,
however. I'm going to order some plastic mesh tubing and
experiment. I'll let you know what I find.
DPA's two 3-pin XLR to 5-pin XLR cable for the Windpac is wrapped in
what seems to be plastic mesh tubing. The fibers don't seem
particularly fine. I wonder what they are using. Haven't used it
yet, because I have to make a cable to mate with it, and I'm still
getting parts.
Martyn, have you noticed tendency to cable noise with your Windpac setup?
