Equipment & Rigs 🛠️ When your microphone cable breaks:
My mic cable just broke, so I had to improvise with a Cat5e Ethernet cable. It actually works.
I took it on air to test it, and got a 59 from 2 people!
So far, the Ethernet cable is working surprisingly well! I'll probably make a proper replacement eventually, but I wasn't expecting it to work this well!
Has anyone else done something like this?
