If you deal with microphone cables for any length of time you soon realise that the less bulky it is the better. The typical cable available in music instrument stores is 6.5mm in diameter, it is common to think just because the cable is thick it is rugged but not in this case. This typical cable uses a foil shield, minimal copper strands and has a very thick outer jacket. These are not the properties you want for a long-lasting cable that has to withstand repeated flexing and rough handling. Contrast this with SC-Scuba that has 26 AWG oxygen free copper inner conductors, a dense copper braid shield with 90 % coverage to protect the cable from interference whilst being 2.5 times thinner.
With a slightly large diameter than its little brother SC-Cicada, more customisation options are available in our microphone cable customiser for this cable including heatshrink logos. Using our high quality soldering techniques, you can be assured this cable will work well with any choice of Neutrik or Switchcraft XLRs and balanced 1/4” plugs and add a long life premium cable tie.
