Pleiades V4 and cable microphonics


It is fun.


A balanced XLR to XLR thin cable from a snake multicable was connected by accident to the Pleiades V4 through an XLR to 1/4in adapter, instead of the XLR to 1/4in Canford step up transformer or impedance converter.


So the cable was effectively connected to grid through just a coupling capacitor.


The amplifier is so sensitive and low noise that just by touching, bending  or rolling the cable one can hear rustling leaves sound. And the hiss is low at the same time.


Nice sound.
