“Hear the difference with the highest quality performance cables”

Welcome to our shop.

Van Damme Tour Grade Classic XKE Microphone cable combines flexibility, durability, noiseless operation and excellent handling characteristics. Van Damme microphone cables can be found in film and recording studios, high street music shops, professional touring applications and the education sector.

Material

The cable conductor is made of a mixture of ultra-pure oxygen-free copper, silver-plated and ultra-pure oxygen-free copper. As with other Van Damme cables, ultra-pure oxygen-free copper increases conductivity and ease of soldering. An additional advantage of UPSPOFC (Ultra Pure Oxygen-Free Copper, Silver Coated) is approximately 5% lower resistance than copper. High frequencies, which flow outside the conductor, due to the skin effect, are conducted slightly better than low frequencies, which tend to fill the UPOFC conductor. Additionally, silver has a lower ability to corrode than copper, so the coating provides a protective barrier between the conductor and insulation from free air. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) was used to insulate the conductors. The advantage of this solution is a clear advantage compared to other insulating materials such as conventional polyethylene. XLPE has a dielectric constant of 2.2 at 1kHz, significant minimization of signal loss at high frequencies, and stability at high temperatures. This stability makes the insulation material resistant to shrinkage during the soldering process. It also has good resistance to abrasion and breaking, which decreases only at -40 degrees Celsius. The pair of conductors is twisted together with a natural textile filter to eliminate electrostatic charges and is covered with a woven OPOFC shield braid to ensure high resistance to electromagnetic interference, radio wave band and mains power. A natural filler was used to prevent changes in the cable's capacity along its length and ensure noise-free operation. The cable sheath is made of an abrasion-resistant PVC/Neoprene composite, ensuring adequate flexibility even at negative temperatures. The cable is available in ten colors.

Application

•Symmetrical microphone or line audio signal.

•Ideal for working on stage.

•Compatible with AES/EBU signal up to a cable length of 5 meters.

Installation Notes

•Further improved outer jacket ensures cable remains flexible in sub zero temperatures.

•Tightly packed cotton fillers ensure no static build up and even capacitance.

•Available in 10 colors for application or length color coding.

•Close lapped copper screen for the best compromise between effective shielding and flexibility.

•Combination of silver plated and plain ultra-pure oxygen free copper conductors for unsurpassed sound quality.
