Great bodypack with expensive proprietary cable

This body pack has a limiter, mono/stereo selector, volume control, and sounds great. Definitely like it.

The cable costs something like $100 and after hundreds of uses, mine eventually wore out. At this rate I could just buy a mixer to plug my stereo mix into and have that much more power over it.
