RE: Any reason for the Switchcraft over the Neutrik connectors ?




I won't second guess your configuration, since I don't understand the application.

The Mogami W3173 cable is 8mm diameter. The Switchcraft A Series XLRs can barely fit an 8mm cable.

If you wish to build an XLR adapter such as that, short lengths of thin Mogami W3159 cable could be used for the purpose, but use the Mogami W3173 for the rest of the XLR cables for a more full-bodied presentation than the Mogami W3159. However, you *must* use a thick layer of braided sleeving to protect the small outer diameter Mogami W3159 from damage. Use a robust type of braided sleeving such as Techflex Clean Cut sleeving, or a double layer of ordinary PET sleeving for the adapters. I use a thick type of 4mm sleeving (shown above) for the Mogami W3159.
