Cable Types Guide
What we provide, what to bring, and what each one's for
Here's a quick description of every cable type — some we provide in specific studios, others we suggest you bring yourself. We can only guarantee the amount of cable specified for each room on book.pirate.com, so if you need extra cables (e.g. XLR) on top of what we provide, bring your own to the session.
