Review on 🎙️ Mogami Gold STUDIO-15 XLR Microphone Cable - Premium Quality, 15 Foot Length, XLR-Female to XLR-Male, 3-Pin, Gold Contacts by Brittany Jackson

I make voices for my living, and every component in my signal chain needs to be as quiet, colorless, and reliable as possible. I researched the microphone cables carefully before deciding on the Mogami Gold Studio cables. Mogami calls these cables Neglex Quad, meaning they have four conductors — the usual two signal wires and a ground wire common to all XLR cables, plus a bare copper shield wrapped around the cable. the other three conductors. The insulation is flexible, but significantly heavier than conventional microphone cables. Mogami Gold Studio Cables are useful in studios suffering from wiring and grounding issues, and especially useful when RF or EMI are an issue. This was especially important in my setup where the mic cables run fairly close to a pair of AC power cords. Even though I try to connect the AC and mic cables at a 180 degree angle, I still had to do my best to keep the AC hum out of the signal chain. There are also a couple of digital signal cables that run parallel to Mogami's microphone cable and I had to make sure that the digital noise didn't get into the analog audio signal. Studies have shown that Mogami Gold Studio cables carry the signal. 10 to 20 dB noise increase over equivalent twisted pair cables. Quad cables like Mogami Gold are more effective at suppressing noise that can pass through even the best screens. Mogami Gold Studio Cables are ideal for studio flooring and environments where they remain virtually in one place. For stage use I would recommend a lighter cable. There's a reason the Mogami costs more, but it's well worth the price difference when exceptional sound quality is needed.
