Extra-tough jacket and oversized heavy-duty construction for exceptional ruggedness and durability. A tightangle, full-coverage braid, thick insulation wall, and large twenty gage conductors give the M1042 improved flex-life, while providing excellent noise rejection and low attenuation. Mutual capacitance is lower than typical microphone cable to reduce the high frequency roll-off that occurs in long runs of mic level signals. Ideal for sound reinforcement and remote production in hostile environments.
