Cordial ECLEM5FM - 5-meter Professional XLR Microphone Cable
The Cordial ECLEM5FM is a professional microphone cable that combines reliability, build quality, and flawless signal transmission, designed to meet the demands of both studio and stage use. At 5 meters long, it offers the flexibility needed for a wide range of applications, from home studio recording to live sound reinforcement. Part of Cordial's renowned Essentials series, this cable is built to deliver long-lasting, consistent performance at a competitive price.
The ECLEM5FM is constructed using Cordial's high-quality CME 220 cable, which features a 2 x 0.22 mm² conductor cross-section and a composition of 28 oxygen-free copper (OFC) strands, each 0.10 mm in diameter. This configuration ensures excellent conductivity and flexibility, facilitating handling and coiling without compromising signal integrity. To protect the transmission from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), the cable is equipped with a bare copper spiral shield that provides 90% coverage, ensuring clean sound free from unwanted noise.
A key component of its reliability is the connectors. The Cordial ECLEM5FM comes equipped with REAN by Neutrik connectors, hand-soldered for maximum robustness. These XLR (female-to-male) connectors are known worldwide for their durability and ability to establish a secure and stable connection, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections. Furthermore, the design includes a molded flex-resistant sleeve at critical points, effectively preventing cable breakage and extending its lifespan.
