Re: Shielded hook up

2008-10-28 by data2action

i'm using belden 25awg sheilded mic cable, mouser #566-9396-250.  very 
small diameter and pliable.  primarily got it to make 1/8" patch 
cords, seems to work well.  

i've never understood what the "RG" designations mean, or what other 
properties of shielded cable (dialetcric? capacitance) make it 
suitable or not for audio applications... any "intro to coax" info 
would be appreciated.
