Warm Audio Premier Series XLR Microphone Cable 20 ft. Black

<p><strong>Overview</strong></p><br><p>Warm Audio has partnered with Switzerland-based Gotham AG – Europe's top producer of premium cable – to provide the cable stock for their entire line of interconnects. Warm Cables deliver the highest quality possible at a price low enough for everyone to afford, with construction robust enough that they offer a lifetime warranty. Well known as the original supplier to some of the industry's elite manufacturers their 3-conductor wire was simply known as “the Neumann Cable” for decades, Gotham's cable construction tecniques and technology now represent the current state-of-the-art. The Premier Cable line takes advantage of Gotham's construction, offering absolutely stellar audio performance, near-perfect signal transfer, and the ultimate in reliability which is why they feature a lifetime warranty!. The Premier line also features gold-plated connectors, a braided outer wrap, four-conductor StarQuad construction for powerful rejection of RFI and Double-Ruessen shielding for increased rejection of EMI. There is simply no better-sounding or reliable cable on the planet – and at a pricetag everyone can afford!</p><br><p><strong>What does “StarQuad” mean?</strong></p><br><p>A traditional balanced cable uses three cores of wire to carry the audio signals: one shielded core for the hot/positive leg, one shielded core for the cold/negative leg which is wired in reverse polarity to the positive leg, and a plain outer wrap that functions as the ground. A balanced audio system effectively rejects most induced noise encountered along the cable's length by removing signals that are common to both the hot and cold legs.</p><br><p>StarQuad construction takes that concept even further, by using four cores instead of two: two cores each for the hot/positive and cold/negative legs and a single ground. This helps to further shield the audio from RFI radio frequency interference even more than a traditional 3-conductor cable.</p><br><p><strong>What is “Double-Ruessen Shielding”?</strong></p><br><p>Most cable construction techniques use an outer wrap of wire to act as the ground. Some manufacturers braid this wire, while others simply wrap the wires in a highly uniform way to shield the interior wires from electromagnetic interference. Double-Ruessen shielding goes much further than more traditional techniques in two ways: First, the cable is wrapped with not one but TWO separate shields, and second, the outer shield is wrapped in a contrary direction to the inner shield. This creates a stronger and more complete shield from EMI for the internal cores, and can result in an astounding reduction of interference. Double-Reussen shielding is a tad more expensive to manufacture, but for those who will accept nothing but the best it represents the pinnacle of balanced cable technology currently.</p><br><p><strong>Specifications</strong></p><br><p><strong>Connectors</strong></p><br><p><strong>Type:&nbsp;</strong>XLR</p><br><p><strong>Color:&nbsp;</strong>Black/Gold</p><br><p><strong>Cable</strong></p><br><p><strong>Diameter:&nbsp;</strong>1/4" 6.3mm</p><br><p><strong>Color</strong>:&nbsp;Black</p><br><p><strong>Jacket Material:&nbsp;</strong>Flexible PVC, Woven Nylon</p><br><p><strong>Conductor Wires</strong></p><br><p><strong>Material:&nbsp;</strong>Standard Bare Copper Wires</p><br><p><strong>Diameter:&nbsp;</strong>23 AWG 0.57mm</p><br><p><strong>Twisting:&nbsp;</strong>Four Core Twisted Together, Star Quad</p><br><p><strong>Shield</strong></p><br><p><strong>Shield 1:&nbsp;</strong>k6160 Polyester Nonwoven Thermally Bonded Copper Coated</p><br><p><strong>Shield 2:&nbsp;</strong>Bare Copper Wires</p><br><p><strong>Coverage:&nbsp;</strong>100%</p>
