PRODUCT DESCRIPTION - Brand New, Genuine, Unused

Belden 8428 - Audiophile Balanced Microphone Cable

Sold by the foot (0.3 meters). If you order multiple items they will be delivered as a single cable, in one continuous length (uncut).

The Belden 8428 cable has a sound signature similar to the legendary Belden 8402 cable, but it's better in terms of Resolution, Depth and Stage. Highs are more detailed and it performs better in Mid, Mid-Low and Low frequency ranges.
The 8428's sound signature is more organic and extended than the 8402.

This is the Audio Engineer's Reference Cable.
Made to last a lifetime with no signal degradation. No hype, no snake oil, just the utmost in precision and quality.

The pictures are only samples. Please place your order for actual length.
