Microphone Cables

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.
