I just bought a USB C UMIK-1 but need a 15’ cable to reach the primary listening position. My preference is to buy a 15’ USB A / USB C cable but I’m not finding many options over 10’. Alternatively I could buy a 10’ USB A extension but would rather avoid the added connection if possible.

Any thoughts or recommendations for a cable would be most appreciated. Monoprice has a $2 extension but there’s something about plugging a $2 cable into a $100 mic that just seems wrong.

Thank you.
 
Longer cables won't work, or will sporadic. I went back to a 6' cable. I use an MS Surface laptop PC, and put it on a stool, with the mic on a tripod, or hand-held.
 
I use my UMIK-1 with a buffered extension with no problems.
 
Thank you. I’d got the same advice from Deer Creek Audio about longer cables an/or extensions. But I hadn‘t heard of a buffer cable before. I‘m going to need a lap top eventually anyway so may consider one sooner than later.
 
I've been using a 15ft USB A extension(pretty sure it was a Monoprice buy) for over four years now with my UMIK-1 that I bought from Cross Spectrum Labs. No problems what-so-ever.
