Canare Multichannel Star Quad Microphone Cable, 16 Channel, 200m

Explore the superior performance and exceptional quality of the Canare L-4E3-16P 200M 16-Channel Star Quad Microphone Cable. Spanning a generous 656 feet (200 meters), this durable and versatile cable is designed to support multiple microphones in a variety of live sound or recording applications.

Crafted by Canare, a reputable brand synonymous with high-quality audio equipment, this 25 AWG Star Quad snake cable features braided shields for each of its 16 channels. Each channel is fully isolated and comprises four conductors, encased in a color-coded, striped PVC jacket for easy identification and organization.

The unique 4-conductor design minimizes the loop area between twists of the conductors, effectively reducing susceptibility to electromagnetically induced noise. This double balanced pairing ensures superior EMI and RFI noise rejection, particularly useful in problem areas on stage or in the studio.

The cable's fine conductor stranding enhances flexibility, facilitating easy roll-up and payout. It employs a large number of thin wire strands in the copper conductors and overall braided shield, ensuring reliable signal transmission.

Engineered with a special compound PVC outer jacket, this cable remains pliant even at extremely low temperatures, allowing immediate installation after cold shipping. The 4-conductor arrangement effectively cancels noise from SCR dimmer packs, fluorescent lighting ballasts, and AC power transformers, ensuring clear, uninterrupted audio.

The use of cotton filler material prevents handling noise, while the special irradiated polyethylene insulation maintains good frequency response by acting as a low capacitance dielectric. With excellent crosstalk characteristics, this cable can handle different signals (-120 dB mic, 4 dB line, 10 dB code levels) in adjacent channels without interference.

While primarily designed for use with microphones, the Canare L-4E3-16P 200M 16-Channel Star Quad Microphone Cable also excels in transmitting all line-level signals, making it a versatile choice for connecting mixers to power amps. Experience the difference in audio quality and performance with this high-quality, reliable multichannel cable.
