The red, 100' L-4E6S Star Quad XLRM to XLRF Microphone Cable from Canare is especially designed for handheld microphone applications in live sound, rehearsals, and other situations. In addition to mic-level signals, the cable can also be used to carry line-level signals such as for connecting your mixer to power amps.

The L-4E6S Star Quad cable features a 4-conductor design that is engineered to substantially reduce vulnerability to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference when compared with 2-conductor cables. It uses 21 AWG copper wire, which features cross-linked, flexible irradiated polyethylene insulation, which is designed to maintain maximum frequency response and to be more heat resistant than ordinary polyethylene. It also utilizes braided copper shielding, which is designed for greater noise rejection and durability than spiral shielding.

The cable also includes cotton filler, which is in place to help to cut down handling noise. This can be beneficial in handheld microphone applications in which the cable may be subject to a substantial amount of movement.

Q: 1. I'm having trouble deciding to keep my 70-300L or sell it and buy the new 100-400L. Any thoughts on why or why not upgrade? Currently I'm using a 60D.

Q: 6. One reviewer mentions ...Recently I have started using it on a monopod. The new tripod foot works loose and negates the stability. When tightened it gets loose again. Why would Canon design a brilliant lens and then weaken the whole thing with this flaw? For over 2 grand it bugs me to have to buy a replacement foot for this lens..... Has Canon improved the tripod foot design to avoid this issue or do you need to purchase an alternative tripod foot to prevent the issue? I am asking because I would want to use this lens with a monopod for some of the wildlife photography I like to do.

A: Canon has improved the tripod foot on this lens, which now allows the ability to remove it without having to remove the lens.
