Hi!
The SDS-V _DO_ use xlr, but I own a soldering iron and can make cables... =)
What I mean is that even with my tele-to-xlr cables I haven't had any trouble
with triggering. With my homebuilt contact splitters and cables resulting in many
split point and almost 15 meters of cables I get troubles however...
But that's a different story though!
