Just a little more expensive. Broadcast supply houses typically sub- contract cable orders to a made-to-order cable house, so there's no time penalty associated with specifying brand and model for both connectors and cable; custom cables typically ship within a week of the order. A decent cable house should be able to supply star-quad cable, and the price should be perhaps ten or twenty percent more per foot than cable with only a single twisted pair. Either way, the connectors (XLR or phone plug) are the same. RLH
