the sssnake DMX-Cable 1000/3

This cable correctly do its job but there are a few details that made it not worth the buy.
First of all, as you can see on the picture : the XLR connectors are grey instead of black. It doesn't change its quality but it is easier to identify a DMX cable over an audio cable when its connectors are full black.
The point that made me unhappy at unpacking : there is no cable Velcro ! For the same price I have this cable with black connectors and Velcro at MusicStore ...

I won't buy this cable at Thomman.de anymore but seriously Thomann services are EXCELLENT : I paid too much my last invoice, they gave me the money back without even asking for my money. Thank you Thomann AGAIN for solving my problem incredibly fast.

Whilst we sport a number of different cables at the small venue we run, I have found this series to be the best option for the rowdier shows. I have yet to have any noticeable issues with crackle or noise from the cable and they hold up very well to daily use. Where they have been key is in that the reasonable price tag means that when disaster strikes - and with as many busy punk rock shows as we have it often does - a broken cable is not a financial blow.
Though there are certainly higher end cables with stronger reputations, if an accident happens any cable is going to break. Thankfully replacing these ones is not an expensive prospect.
For their price tag they have proven to be a very sound investment and work best when utilised in the right situations. The added length of the 1000's also helps with roaming vocalists and longer cable runs.

These 'sssnake DMX-Cable 1000/3' leads are particularly well made. I tried making my own once, but I'm a bit rubbish at soldering. I'm sure I'd get the hang of it if I practiced enough. It's like anything though isn't it? If you practice anything 'enough', you are very likely to become rather good at it (adept if you will) unless you happen to be a cack-handed wazzock. I know a few people like that, my mate Tom is a bit cack-handed but don't tell him I think so, I'd feel quite cruel.
Anyway, I seem to have drifted somewhat from the origianl subject matter. I think it's suffice to say, these leads are very good and not too expensive either which is even more of 'good' when you add it to all the other bits of good I've already mentioned.

I used these for vocal microphones and drum mics in live settings. They are decent cables that are great for the money. Have upgraded my cables since buying these but they were good solid cables for us for a couple of years. Still use them for practice room.

Pros: 10 Meter length is really handy for bigger stages in the large venues that we played. Good solid performers.

Cons: Over time (and maybe a little misuse!) these cables became worn and were no longer reliable for live performances. Have upgraded since but still use these for band practice sessions.

Overall: Recommend as a decent live cable or as a band room cable.
