The Premier Straight to Straight Instrument Cables from Warm Audio offer advanced features like gold-plated connectors, StarQuad construction, Double-Reussen shielding and a braided outer wrap for optimal durability. StarQuad construction achieves greater protection from induced noise than traditional XLR cables by using five cores instead of three, and Double-Reussen shielding uses two separate copper shields wrapped in a contrary direction to create the strongest resistance to EMI available.
