Sommer Cable has introduced the SC-Micro Duo Aramid shielded twin pair cable for safely hanging stereo mics.
Aramid consists of synthetic polymers related to nylon that yield fibres of exceptional strength and thermal stability. Sommer's SC-Micro uses this technology in a solution for surround and multichannel recording systems, especially those where microphones are hung from the ceiling or the cable is exposed to strong tensile forces. To absorb the weight of the microphones, fillers made of braided aramid fibres have been incorporated to act as an additional strain relief. Compared to steel ropes, the aramid fibres have no negative impact on the cable's audio transmission quality. The low capacitance SC-Micro Duo Aramid is AES/EBU and DMX capable (110Ω) and, due to its concentrically braided OFC wires, ensures optimal, neutral transmission.
