The Microphone Cable section provides selections for cable assemblies to be used
in balanced and Lo-Z applications, (i.e. connecting a microphone to a mixing
console). Horizon's development of a new microphone cable begins with shielding.
A balanced microphone cable must have adequate shielding for each situation to
eliminate interference. Another property of a quality microphone cable will be
the twisting of pairs. This process will help protect your signal through
superior common mode rejection. What all this means is Horizon has developed the
quietest microphone cable possible for every situation from live stage to
recording studios. Horizon's Mic cables utilize an ultra flexible Matte PVC
Jacket for durability and flexibility. Each is offered with many different
connector combinations and Horizon's limited Lifetime Warranty.
