24K Gold-Plated Connectors & Dual Shielding Featuring corrosion-resistant 24K gold plating on both TRS and XLR connectors, this cable ensures optimal conductivity for high-fidelity audio transmission. The dual-layer shielding combines aluminum foil and braided copper to block 90% of electromagnetic interference (EMI) from Wi-Fi routers, LED lights, or USB hubs. Gold contacts also resist oxidation, maintaining signal clarity even after 5,000+ plug/unplug cycles (tested to IEC 60512-23 standards). At just 6.6FT long, this cable eliminates excess slack in tight spaces like podcasting desks, rack-mounted gear, or portable recording kits. Its streamlined length prevents tangling and reduces ground loop risks common in cluttered setups. Ideal for routing audio from a Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface directly to a Neve-style preamp, or linking a headphone amp to a microphone s XLR input.
