Thanks for the reply.

I was just referring to shielding the splice (mid-cable) on breakout cables=
.  I'd like the actual split to be near the recorder end with just the sing=
le (stereo) cable from mic to splice

Kinda'like this:
                                              _______[connector]
   [connector]--------------------------------_______[connector]

not like this:
              _______________________________________[connector]
   [connector]_______________________________________[connector]

I'm going to shield the cable at the splice.
(It was fun making these diagrams, too!)
