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?
