This Van Damme Tour Grade Classic XKE "Starquad" cable. This cable is an upgrade on the standard 2 core cables. Shield (braided screen) with twisted pair of four conductors that significantly reduces EM and RF interference within a strong yet flexible high quality outer PVC jacket.

Made by us in our workshop using our advanced solder equipment with 4 percent silver solder. Silver solder makes for a better solder joint, it is harder than standard lead free solder and gives a shinny bright finish.

The unique combination of ultra pure oxygen free copper silver plated and bare copper strands within each of the four conductors has given a remarkable signature to this stunning cable defined by a full bodied natural, transparent, detailed and balanced sound rarely found in microphone cables of this price range.

Neutrik connectors are industry standard and are extremely robust, tried and trust by professional audio hire companies the world over. This lead uses nickel connectors. Both connectors have a chuck type cord grip, so the cable is going to stay in place. These cables look extremely professional and are a given choice for many studios and broadcast companies the world over.

Professionally made by us with over 30 plus years experience.

This listing is for one lead. 

PLEASE MEASURE UP CAREFULLY TO AVOID ERRORS

Leads 1m or less (patch leads) will be measured visible cable from the rear black boot of the connector. We add 100mm of cable FREE to compensate for the connectors.

Leads over 1m will be measured cut length of cable. The connectors use up 100mm of cable.

 If you need any specific length or need a little extra please ask - it can be made to that length as these are made to measure when we receive the order. Contact through ebay messages.

We can make the lead to an exact length if you want - Order the lead that is slightly longer and message us through ebay.

 If you want a longer lead let us know.
