X2 Digital Wireless Replacement Cable

Butch at Bayou Cables sells one I believe. All his stuff is top notch.

HUGE + 1!!! I have 6 X2 Beltpacks between my guitarist and me and I won't use anything else except the Bayou now. I own a lot of Bayou cables now...In fact my ENTIRE signal chain from my bass and guitar rigs to my mic cables to my speakon speaker cables for my PA and Monitors are ALL Bayou. Butch told me a month or so ago I was his best customer! LOL! I like them so much I replaced EVERY SINGLE cable I have with them. That is a LOT of cables. Something like 10 guitar cables, 6 or 8 shorter patch Cables, 5 of the X2 beltpack cables, about 25 mic cables, 20 or so long Speakon cables, and about 10 or 12 shorter speakon cables. I also bought a bunch of NICE cable ties and some power y cables from him and I haven't had a single thing fail. My oldest cables are probably over a year old and get constant HARD use! I HIGHLY recommend him over everything out there. I bought all my cables and paid full price for them so this is not a paid endorsement of any kind. Butch is a master at what he does and I get all of my cables from him now and will anytime I need some. Look him up here:

I never even bothered with the cable that came with the unit. It's a POS and will fail you at the most inconvenient time. When I bought my first X2, I immediately ordered a cable from Butch at Bayou based on many recommendations. It is a top-notch product, but it took FOREVER to get it once I ordered it/paid for it (I'm talking many weeks). YMMV.
 
+1 on the self made cable . I made mine with 90 deg neutrik plug, switchcraft locking connector and canare GS6 cable. I screwed up and left that cable at home and had to use that crap cable that is sent with my x2 plus syst and of course it started cutting out at the wrong live time. I think it was a overseas made hey i am forced in on my day off p*** off worker made cable. Oh well lesson learned.

Like all else I do not understand why X2 would tarnish their reputation on their system. It truly is a great system with the right cable !
