The MINK4 is a star quad mic cable which is suited for high-end microphone cable and all line level signals. The double balanced pairing reduces susceptibility to EMI and electrostatic coupling. The 95% minimum braid shield protects from RFI. A built-in drain wire eliminates the extra step of using the shield as a ground wire to save labor time. And the unique mink jacket allows for an amazingly flexible and durable cable. This cable works great indoors and outdoors.
