Elite Core, CSM4-1000, Custom Shop Microphone Cable 1000' Bulk Spool

The CSM4 quad conductor cable is designed from the inside out to be the finest studio and stage grade cable available. Every component of the cable itself is carefully chosen with the end goal of creating a tough, flexible, and dead-quiet microphone cable. It's not an ordinary cable. The insulator that was chosen to separate the four inner conductor cores is cross linked polyethylene, or XLPE. This insulator is a thermosetting compound made from a polymer resin that has been irreversibly cured to form a special type of insulator that is less prone to shrinking when heated. XLPE was chosen over the less expensive old-fashioned PVC because it has much lower dielectric loss and, despite its smaller diameter, is easier to solder without shrinkage. PVC certainly would have been cheaper. With careful attention to selection of soldering equipment and the temperature and methods used to solder, the XLPE was the obvious choice for the quad conductor CSM4. Two blue and two white for the four insulators were selected.
