Canare L-4E6S Star Quad has been the industry standard mic cable for sound touring, broadcast studio and on-location techies for over 40 years. Star Quad obtains its name from the 4-conductor style construction that minimizes the "loop-area" between twists of the conductors. This "double-balanced" pairing, reduces susceptibility to electromagnetically induced noise. The improvement in noise rejection is so noticeable, that even SCR dimmer noise (stage lighting consoles), is reduced to less than 1/10 the level found in other 2-conductor microphone cables. Canare L-4E6S Star Quad is designed for use with microphones but is also excellent for all line -level signals (e.g. mixer to power amps). The 4-conductor Star Quad arrangement, cancels electromagnetically induced noise from SCR dimmer packs, fluorescent lighting ballasts and AC power transformers. Handling noise is prevented by use of cotton filler material. Excellent frequency response is maintained due to special irradiated polyethylene insulation which provides a low capacitance dielectric.
Braided Copper Shield
Canare Star Quad cable with braided shields is super flexible. The braided copper shield of Canare L-4E6S is designed to maintain effective shielding performance, regardless of how many times the cable is unwound, bent, twisted or rewound. It is ideal for use as handheld microphone cables or extension cables. Although this cable may be a bit more expensive than standard 2-Conductor versions, the longevity of the mic cable is appreciated by touring professionals and on-location sounds techs.
