Classic UP SPOFC microphone cable - see prices
Van Damme Classic microphone cable combines flexibility, durability, noiseless
operation and signal transparency without compromise. The range now features an
upgraded conductor - ultra pure silver plated oxygen free copper, and has incorporated
advances made in plastics technology in the PVC composite jacket material. It
can be found in use in many disparate environments- from blue-chip company boardroom
tables to High Street music shops to the demanding rigours of on the road touring
use.
Materials
This cable now uses a mixture of Ultra Pure Silver Plated Oxygen Free Copper
and Ultra Pure Oxygen Free Copper for its conductors. As with the ultra pure oxygen
free copper used in other Van Damme Cables ‘solderability’ and conductivity are
much improved. The additional advantage of UPSPOFC is that silver is approximately
5% less resistive than copper. High frequencies, which gravitate to the outside
of the conductor due to the skin effect, are conducted slightly more efficiently
than the lower frequencies which tend to saturate the UPOFC conductor. In addition
silver is less susceptible to corrosion than copper and so the plating offers
a protective barrier between the conductor and the insulation or free air.
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is used for the conductor insulation. Although
considerably more expensive than conventional polyethylene it offers distinct
advantages over other insulation materials. XLPE has a low dielectric constant
(2.2 at 1KHz), essential for minimising high frequency signal losses, and is stable
at high temperatures. This temperature stability ensures that the insulation material
resists shrink back during the soldering process. It has good abrasion and stress-cracking
resistance yet remains flexible down to –40 degrees C. XLPE also is less environmentally
damaging than other insulation materials as it releases carbon dioxide and water
during combustion with no halogen emission.
The conductor pairs are twisted together with natural textile fillers to eliminate
the build up of static charge and are overlaid with a tightly lapped spiral UPOFC
copper screen for excellent rejection of electromagnetic, radio frequency and
mains borne interference. The natural fillers used also prevent capacitance changes
along the cables length and allow for noise free operation. The overall jacket
of Van Damme microphone cable is extruded using an improved anti-abrasion PVC/neoprene
composite. This enables the cable to remain flexible even in sub zero temperatures.
The cable is available in ten colours, which can be used for length/application
coding.
