Jonas,
In a remote rural environment I have tested longer cable runs with
EM172s running to Olympus LS10, both with and without external preamp
at mic end, and found no noticeable difference in signal quality.
Hence I dispensed with the preamp. I did find that the quality of the
cable was important, and that shielded cable was better than cheap
unshielded cable. My main problem was with wallabies tripping over
the cable :-)
