Van Damme STARQUAD Balanced Cable. Best Neutrik Gold XLR to XLR Microphone Leads. This includes Channel Islands, Northern Ireland, Isle of Wight and Scottish Highlands. High quality leads for interconnecting devices such as microphones, mixing desks, home AV systems, sound cards, monitor speakers, amplifiers, etc. Starquad is the next level in balanced cabling. Balanced leads minimise noise interference by using two twisted cores (1 x + & 1 x -). The signals are sent perfectly out of phase with one another and then re-inverted at the destination. The interference collected along the cable length is also then inverted, so put out of phase and made silent. Starquad leads use two cores per signal path (2 x + & 2 x -) all twisted around each other. This increases the surface area of the cable cores and means that noise is induced more evenly down the length. This even induction means that more noise is cancelled when the signals are re-inverted. These cables are used extensively in broadcasting due to the above. The Van Damme cable is tough and flexible due to its PVC outer jacket. The Neutrik connectors are a tour grade product that boasts outstanding cable strain relief. A rugged, durable and great sounding lead. The Gold Contacts are made from bronze and plated with gold. They offer superior durability over silver as they do not tarnish easily. Material Flexible PVC/Neoprene composite. Average thickness 0.50mm. Overall diameter 6.00mm ±0.15. Core to core capacitance pF/m50 nominal. Core to screen capacitance pF/m95 nomina.

Limits of Responsibility We accept no responsibility for damage to equipment incurred during operation or use of our products where an item has been improperly used. Please contact our Technical Team for advice prior to ordering if you are unsure about your requirements. All of our manufactured products are electrically tested before dispatch. We pressure test for short circuit, continuity and insulation resistance. Due to the nature and complexity of what we do there was no single tester available on the market to accommodate all of our needs so we decided to build all of our own testing equipment! Our testers go way and beyond what is normally offered, ensuring quality of sound and reliability. All AC mains products conform to BS 7671 wiring regulations and are tested by qualified technicians trained to City & Guilds 2377 standards. We take waste and our impact on the environment very seriously. All of our plastic and cardboard waste is separated and collected on a monthly basis. We try to keep packaging to a minimum and try to re-use packaging materials where possible, so please do not be upset if your order arrives in a second-hand box! Please keep your bubble wrap for Christmas and re-use boxes where you can. If you wish to return unwanted cable and connectors then please do so, we are happy to recycle them on your behalf.
