Gold Female XLR to TRS Jack Lead. Balanced Sommer Carbokab Mic Cable

This range of balanced leads uses Sommer’s SC Carbokab ‘2 Core and Multi-Screen cable’. The cable utilises ‘Carbon Conductor smoothing’ around the centre core to vastly improve the signal transmission. The smoothing is essentially a carbon wrap that makes the centre core act like a solid core of copper and not individual strands. This gives you the sonic benefits of a single core cable but the flexibility and durability of stranded core.

Advantages:

• Linear audio transmission due to carbon conductor smoothing to emulate the benefits of a solid wire
• Low capacitance due to the use of the HD-PP high-end insulating material
• Excellent shielding with Cu mesh screen (+ drain wire) and AL fleece
• High conductivity due to the use of OFC 6 (oxygen-free class 6) copper

Application:

• Highly professional studio and installation technology
• Demanding OB van technology for radio and broadcasting
• First-class hifi connection (red and white conductors on pin 1, separate shielding)
