ノイトリック/モガミ/Mogami Gold Neglex Quad Microphone Cable for Studio Neutrik XLR 25 Foot/アクセサリー【並行輸入品】

UPDATE: I do notice an improved noise reduction in the hum/static. To be fair I ran old but brand new never used generic GC cable to my mic. It has a ground loop type of hum. Most likely a badly built wire, or high impedance. Either way it can be heard. I do not have my gain or other settings adjusted that high or loudly as my studio us 6ft wide, 8ft long, and 7.5ft tall a very small space for 8 speakers to be located with a large diameter tube mic. So things are turned down to match the space. Speakers are about 2.5ft from the mic. And, they are 3 per stack on the left and right wired in series bookshelf speakers with a woofer, midrange and tweeter. Gain needs to be low to avoid feedback. Then on the floor about 3.5 ft away are 2 12 inch subwoofers midrange and tweeters, left and right placement. My system is a mind blowing 35 watts per channel. Rotel mid level amp 35 watts x 4. The sound quality seems cleaner and more robust. I think this is more to do with the lack of background noise. Hard to say my voice sounds any nicer or better overall. But, not having that annoying ground loop like static is sure nice. The only little issue I had was the spring loaded clip lock mechanism would not engage my mic receptacle. I had to remove the rubber O ring and push the connector on. Once I did that I replaced the O ring and was able to connect and lock the cable to the mic. As for sound quality- subjective. However compared to the low end cables I own this cable stops the annoying fuzz or static sound I thought was from something else. I checked those things. They were fine. END OF UPDATE. Just got my first ever professional level XLR cable. I Originally wanted the 15 footer, but waited to long. So I got the 25 footer and even without using it yet this cable feels so much nicer than the GC specials I have been using. Looking at how it is constructed compared to my non pro cables.... Worlds apart in quality. It is like going from a Yugo to a custom just for you super sports car. Nothing feels loose. You know the typical XLR connections on low end cables. Not these. These are snug and everything works and moves as one piece. Excllent is not good enough to describe the build quality. Legendary build quality. Compared to anything I have ever seen. The cable is supple and very flexible. My low end wires are stiffer and really annoying sometimes to work with Value for your money - Build quality 100% worth every penny spent. I will update this review with the sound quality and value. From the tons of reviews I have read this will be a roll in the park. While my little productions are not pro level themselves, I wanted to slowly upgrade key pieces to get that pro sound quality. This was shipped quickly. The package was in perfect condition. The packing materials were perfect. No waste other than the retail plastic hang thing. Highly recommend this seller to everyone. Fair pricing and fast shipping. Thank you.

I tried a few cheap xlr cables recently and between the buzzing and static, it sucked. This cable doesn't do those things, so I feel like a 5/5 is a fair rating

Excellent product... purolator dropped the ball...arrived way late...

I converted female (mic end) XLR connectors to 90 degree versions without soldering. Merely purchase Neutrik NC3FRX 90 degree female connectors from Amazon. The front soldered connector and the back threaded nut are the same as the Mogami originals and can stay on the cable. Just disassemble, swap the other parts, rotate the 90 to the desired "clock" location, bend/tuck the wire into a 90 degree shape, and reassemble. Made up four of these yesterday, they work great, and I now have four extra "new" Neutrik female XLR ends left over. They can be converted back to straight ends later. In the process of converting my studio to better cables, as a degreed EE I look at specifications; in particular, capacitance per foot, which can cause a (somewhat minor but audible) rolloff effect in the top of the treble range, particularly with higher impedance preamps. This quad cable (Mogami 2534) has significantly higher capacitance per foot (worse) than their non-Quad (2549) product, but slightly lower capacitance (better) than the competing, also very high quality Canare Quad. Quad cables trade capacitance for interference immunity - they are very quiet indeed. I have found that if a mic or source is "active" (48 VDC phantom powered mic, active DI, or an electronic instrument output), it typically does not need the super high interference rejection of a quad cable, but can still benefit from lower capacitance. I use Mogami 2549 (non-quad) for those sources. Dynamic (non-powered) mics are more interference sensitive, and benefit more from a quad cable, as do longer runs (25 foot+) from active devices, particularly lower level ones. I use Mogami 2534 Quad (this cable) for those applications, and combat the capacitance rise by keeping cable lengths as short as possible.
