Klotz MC2000SW - High Performance Professional Microphone Cable (100m)
The Klotz MC2000SW is a professional microphone cable designed to meet the highest demands of recording studios, stages, and broadcast applications. Renowned for its exceptional German build quality and reliability, this cable has established itself as a preferred choice for sound engineers, musicians, and installers seeking pure, uncompromised signal transmission. Its high-flex design and robust construction make it ideal for both rigorous touring and permanent installations.
Manufactured with a high-purity bare copper (E-Cu) conductor, the MC2000SW guarantees superior conductivity and completely transparent audio signal transfer, preserving every nuance of the original source. Its PVC outer jacket is not only extremely flexible, facilitating handling and coiling without memory effect, but also highly resistant to abrasion and daily wear. The excellent copper spiral shielding provides effective protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring clean, noise-free sound. This 100-meter roll is the perfect solution for creating custom cabling of any length, adapting to the specific needs of each professional audio project.
Main features
-
High purity conductors: Constructed with two internal bare copper conductors (28 strands of 0.10 mm each) for maximum fidelity signal transmission.
-
Low capacitance: With only 60 pF/m between conductors, it minimizes the loss of high frequencies, especially in long cable runs, maintaining a clear and detailed sound.
-
Effective shielding: Dense spiral shielding of bare copper provides excellent coverage to reject EMI and RFI interference, ensuring a quiet signal.
-
Ultra-flexible PVC coating: The outer PVC cover provides outstanding flexibility for easy handling in any situation, as well as great durability and strength.
-
Robust and reliable construction: Designed to withstand the most demanding conditions of live use, with an outer diameter of 6.5 mm compatible with most standard connectors such as XLR and TRS.
-
Roll format: Supplied in a 100-meter roll, ideal for installers and technicians who need to create custom-length cables for studios, stages, or fixed installations.

- Fixed audio installations in theaters, auditoriums, conference rooms and places of worship.
- Connecting equipment in processor racks, patchbays and mixing consoles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable balanced?
Yes, the Klotz MC2000SW is a two-conductor cable plus a shielding mesh, making it perfect for balanced audio connections, which are the professional standard for noise cancellation.
What type of connectors are recommended for this cable?
Its 6.5 mm outer diameter and the cross-section of its conductors make it compatible with the vast majority of high-quality professional connectors, such as Neutrik or Amphenol, in both XLR (male and female) and 6.35 mm stereo jack (TRS) formats.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
The PVC jacket offers good protection and can be used outdoors occasionally. Its operating temperature range is from -20°C to +70°C. However, for permanent outdoor installations where the cable will be continuously exposed to the elements and UV light, a cable with a specific outdoor jacket should be considered.
What is the main difference between the Klotz MC2000 and the popular MY206?
Both are high-quality microphone cables from Klotz. The main difference lies in their construction: the MC2000 uses polyethylene (PE) conductor insulation, while the MY206 uses PVC. PE provides slightly lower capacitance (60 pF/m in the MC2000 versus 70 pF/m in the MY206), which theoretically results in less treble loss over very long runs. The MC2000 is often considered a top-of-the-range cable for critical studio applications, while the MY206 is an incredibly robust and reliable industry standard for live performance.
