Sometimes equipment has 1/4" Input/Output connectors instead of XLR connectors, so we designed this cable. The TRS connector is a mil-spec M642/2-2 also known as a PJ-051B. This is the TRS version of the M642/1-1 that we use throughout our product line. Our entire philosophy is about durability & reliability and the standard XLR connector had always been a liability. What we came up with was a way to modify a Neutrik connector to accept a steel spring strain relief. We decided to use Neutrik NC3?X-BAG connectors with black metal housings and silver contacts (gold is available but not recommended, call for more details). This industry standard connector is easy to assemble with only 4 parts and no screws and a chuck type clamp to secure the cable.
Of course we continue to use Belden 8412 microphone cable with all our products. This cable features 2 20 AWG tinned copper conductors and EPDM insulation/jacket material which makes it one of the most durable stage and studio cables available. The cable's 85% coverage, tinned copper braid shield provides excellent noise rejection. Every gold & platinum album of the 60's, 70's & 80's owes its success to this cable. Until we come out with our own XLR connector, this is amongst the finest microphone cables on the market.
