Author Topic: Belden Wire and does it make a difference Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 03-03-2010 09:55 AM                        Only Belden here. Tried everything. Steve is right. Totally consistent; almost no probelms ever. Lasts forever. The forgotten cable Belden 8412 for studio mike cables.

Far more flexible, better durability, and far better specs then the ole Belden cable has.

I worked on one install where the theatre owner insisted on using this solid wire he got cheap from the electricians. Even for cell lines. It made everything 100 times harder. I did not even think it would work. Unfortunately it worked just enough that I am sure this person is still insisting on using the stuff.  |  IP: Logged Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 03-03-2010 11:09 PM                     *Hides his Deca Cable* -Available at electrical supply stores  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
