good and i don"t want damage the soundquality. please help me fast, in
5 days it must work because i have a recording session................

I don't know where you could get one made locally, but it's not a
difficult thing for a tech to make up.  You can probably swage the
connectors on yourself with a vise if you can't find someone with the
proper tooling.

It's just standard ribbon cable.. the hard part is putting the connectors
on, and getting good high-grade connectors.  If you can find Winchester
stuff locally I would suggest their connectors.

You could try using a shielded ribbon cable just to see how it works.
It's a major pain to work with that stuff, though.

much thanks for the fast answer! i know, it's a very hard work and i
don't find quality connectors.......... my problem is, that the cable
ca. in the middle is broken (only 3 cables). i have on the end of the
ribbon cable 2 unused connectors so i can change the assign of the
channels and soldering a brigde on the damaged connector. that works
also fine, isn't it? much thanks for your tips, you are great here on
proaudio.rec!
p.s. i know i know my english is bad. i should take an english
teacher!!!!!
