Let's put it another way:You referred to your own first-hand experience with mechanical impact on a mic cable causing an audible result (presumably due to an electrical signal arriving at the receiver attached to the cable)
Any idea how that electrical signal is generated?
Seems to me, it could be one of three things:
1) movement of conductors relative to one another causing an I=BL kind of generation
2) movement of components of the cable causing the generation of an electrical signal (e.g the piezo effect)
3) movement of the entire cable in the external field(s)Any other candidates?
How 'bout instead of figuring out what caused a voltage to be generated in a microphone cable that was smacked on a concrete floor, we first see if there are any quantifiable effects on cables under more typical conditions?
I mean, who's listening to their system while their cables are being smacked on concrete floors? Or while someone's flicking them with their finger?
