Cordial ECLCCM20FM - 20-meter Professional XLR Microphone Cable
The Cordial ECLCCM20FM is a 20-meter microphone cable that combines reliability, build quality, and exceptional audio performance, designed to meet the demands of musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts. Part of Cordial's acclaimed Essentials series, this cable strikes the perfect balance between affordability and the professional quality that characterizes the German brand. Its considerable length makes it ideal for large stages, spacious recording studios, or any situation where the distance between the sound source and the mixing equipment is a critical factor.
Built to guarantee interference-free signal transmission and superior durability, the ECLCCM20FM uses XLR (female-to-male) connectors from the prestigious REAN brand, a Neutrik subsidiary. These hand-soldered connectors ensure a robust and reliable connection every time. The internal cable, model CMN 220, features two 0.22 mm² conductors, each composed of 28 fine copper strands, providing remarkable flexibility for easy handling and coiling without sacrificing strength. The bare copper spiral shielding, with 90% coverage, effectively protects the signal from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), ensuring clean and clear sound.
