The human voice is rightfully the most valued timbre in the history of music so much so that all other man-made musical instruments seek to emulate aspects of its quality. It is thus a primary objective of every audio engineer to preserve its inherent qualities whenever it is reproduced through methods such as amplification and recording. While the choice of the best microphones ever made is taken into account, having bad cables reduce or even destroy what these excellent microphones have to offer. The coming 127th AES convention will see the introduction of the Gepco XB201DBM X-Band microphone cable armed with the goal of keeping microphone signals as pristine as possible.

The XB201DBM X-Band is an extra-flexible and high-bandwidth microphone cable possessing a double braid shield for added noise rejection. Being based on the XB201M, the XB201DBM utilizes a gas/polymer dielectric that reduces capacitance with the internal cables being paired in a tight and precise twist which leads to increased RF/EMI noise rejection while keeping a wide frequency response. The conductors are made from finely stranded, oxygen-free copper for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance. The shielding is made from a double (2 x 95%) copper braid for added noise rejection. This cable is then finished off with a proprietary matte PVC compound that is both flexible and durable.

All the features presented above make the Gepco XB201DBM X-Band microphone cable a durable yet highly flexible implement in your microphone systems that is very useful for either studio or live sound applications. You can take a first-hand look at the Gepco XB201DBM X-Band and other featured Gepco products at Stand 151 during the 127th AES Convention.
