XLR Cables
Stage Pro-Line cables use only oxygen-free copper, ensuring durable, consistent quality and resistance to corrosion. The connectors are hand-soldered and fitted with a clamping strain-relief so the solder joints remain free of mechanical stress. A high-density copper shield effectively protects the audio signal from mechanical noise and electromagnetic interference, such as that produced by power supplies and power cables. This results in low conductor capacitance and crystal-clear audio transmission.
