<<When you use StarQuad in this manner, you give up some of its special pro= perties of radio-frequency interference (RFI) rejection. In most cases wher= e nature recordists work that's not a big issue. Closer to sources of RF ha= sh it can be a noticeable difference.>> In my use of Star Quad wired for stereo, two Neumann KM140 mics (transforme= rless outputs) feeding a Symmetrix preamp (transformerless inputs) in conce= rt hall locations resulted in audible RF breakthrough in the signal. So the= potential downside is not just theoretical, it can ruin a recording. It wi= ll depend on a conjunction of factors & I don't want to have to count on ju= st being lucky. Mogami 2 pair stereo cable has worked without problems for = the last couple decades after the Star Quad-as-stereo proved a failed exper= iment to me. Scott Fraser |
