Cable Porters, Explained
Do I use them to twirl my spaghetti?
|
A properly wrapped cable will be done with the 'over/under' method, to ensure that the cable will lay flat on the floor, and not become tangled or knotted.
Using your fingers, twist the cable in one direction as you create the coil an you'll have the 'over' loop. Then on the next loop, you twist the cable in the other direction, bring it 'under' (or behind) the loop you just created. You continue alternating over and under loops until the cable is completely wrapped. We suggest placing the Cable Porter near the male end of a mic cable. This way, you can leave as much cable on that you need, and it will be near the mixer and not by the microphone or instrument. |
