Van Damme XKE Starquad 4 Core Cable. Balanced XLR Mic. Screened Bulk Reel TOUR

Van Damme Tour Grade Classic XKE Starquad Microphone Cable

Balanced/Stereo, Microphone Cable

4 Core and Screen, Silver Plated Copper Wire Cores, Tinned Copper Wire screen

Starquad cable offers unparalleled rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) by using 4 twisted cores of UPOFC (ultra pure oxygen free copper) for transmission. This cable is ideal for environments where electrical circuits are in high use, long cable runs and for musicians who want uncompromised results

4 Core and Screen relates to the amount of carrier signals inside the cable, in this case five. This is a balanced/stereo cable. The 4 cores are the signal carriers (2 per signal line) and the screen is the ground/shield
