Van Damme Starquad Female XLR to ¼ TRS Jack Lead. Neutrik Connectors.
High quality leads for interconnecting devices such as microphones, mixing desks, home AV systems, sound cards, monitor speakers, amplifiers, etc. The next level in balanced cabling. Balanced leads minimise noise interference by using two twisted cores (1 x + & 1 x -).
High quality leads for interconnecting devices such as microphones, mixing desks, home AV systems, sound cards, monitor speakers, amplifiers, etc. The next level in balanced cabling. Balanced leads minimise noise interference by using two twisted cores (1 x + & 1 x -). The signals are sent perfectly out of phase with one another and then re-inverted at the destination. The interference collected along the cable length is also then inverted, so put out of phase and made silent. Starquad leads use two cores per signal path (2 x + & 2 x -) all twisted around each other. This increases the surface area of the cable cores and means that noise is induced more evenly down the length. This even induction means that more noise is cancelled when the signals are re-inverted.
These cables are used extensively in broadcasting due to the above. The Van Damme cable is tough and flexible due to its PVC outer jacket. The Neutrik connectors are a tour grade product that boasts outstanding cable strain relief. A rugged, durable and great sounding lead. The Truth behind Gold and Silver Connectors........ Silver is the better conductor; however gold is highly resistant to corrosion so is favoured for its durability. For international deliveries please contact us before purchasing longer length leads as the shipping prices may vary.
