Review on 🔌 GLS Audio 6ft Patch Cable Cords - Balanced XLR Male to Female Color Cables - 6' Snake Cord - 6 Pack by Brian Buck

I bought these to replace old cables that were starting to break. I'm using them for a podcast that's being created locally, so they're stored and lugged around. I like different colors as it makes it easier to keep track of multiple mics. However, I didn't check them out before going on a field trip where I recorded seven episodes in three days (bragging). When I got home and helped record a friend's podcast, I realized that these cables do NOT protect against electrical interference. I had a cell phone nearby to take notes, and when I picked it up for the first time, I noticed a crackle in the recording. My friend used her phone to read the listener's email - more crackles. And that's a pretty low frequency that any cable should avoid. Especially since the phone was at least 8 inches from the cord. This is very bad. I set the levels using all my usual techniques and equipment. The initial levels read as they should. The first minute of the recording looks like it should. Then there is a noticeable drop in level. This was partly due to the microphone technology and the head movements of the guests, but remained problematic until the end of the episode. In short, they don't pick up the sounds coming into them properly and are very sensitive to electric fields. They're practically useless in the field and sometimes in the studio, but they look beautiful!
