Van Damme XKE Microphone Balanced Pro-Patch Cable, 2 Core and Screen (Thin)

Van Damme Pro Grade Classic XKE Pro-Patch Cable

Balanced/Stereo, Patch Cable

2 Core and Screen, Silver and UPOFC Wire Core, UPOFC Wire Screen

Van Damme classic XKE Pro-Patch cable has a low overall diameter of 4.85 mm, 1.15mm thinner than the XKE Microphone cable. The UPOFC (Ultra Pure Oxygen Free Copper) wire ensures the signals integrity and its tightly packed construction ensures no compromise when reducing its overall diameter. This cable looks and works extremely well with stereo mini jack to stereo mini Jack cables. This cable is used extensively by ‘Abbey Road Studios’ and the ‘BBC’

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