Mogami Gold Series Balanced Patch Cable (TRS to XLRF, 10 Foot) Mogami

A popular balanced patch cable with gold-pin/black body 1/4″ TRS and female XLR connectors.

Made with Mogami Neglex Quad cable and gold connectors, Mogami studio accessory cables are the finest you can buy for neutral tone and noise rejection. These cables use 1/4″ balanced plugs and are also extremely popular for powered speakers. A good quad cable is critical in any environment with high levels of RF and EM noise, especially in today’s wireless world. Quad cables use double conductors and are far more effective (15 dB more effective) than standard balanced cables in canceling noise that can creep past even the best shield.Specifications for some AES cables, especially for capacitance, can look very attractive for analog transmission. However, the materials and design of many AES cables don’t perform well in high performance analog transmission. Mogami Gold AES cable is designed with the same type of shielding and conductors as our world renowned analog cables, in a special low capacitance version that fully meets the stringent AES requirements. Gold AES will perform exceptionally for the most demanding high end analog recording and monitoring where transparency, detail and frequency extension are critical.

There’s a reason why Mogami is called “The Cable of the Pros.” Virtually every major recording facility is wired with Mogami, which means that just about any music you listen to has passed through Mogami somewhere in the recording chain from Fleetwood Mac to Foo Fighters, from Prince to Pearl Jam, and countless others.

Why do so many discriminating artists and studios choose Mogami over other cable brands? It’s simple. Mogami is unmatched for accuracy, extremely low noise, ease of installation, flexibility, and superior quality. Professionals and enthusiasts alike rave about the amazing clarity and silent background of Mogami technicians swear by it, not at it.

Their story began decades ago when Mogami scientists began researching the causes of audible differences within signal cable. The research was groundbreaking, and controversial, as most engineers at the time thought cable all sounded the same. Mogami’s approach was unique. They invested years into researching low-loss signal transfer, the result of which led to the development of Mogami Neglex, a series of cables that changed an entire industry.

The World’s Best Cable Does Nothing at All. Mogami has a clear-cut philosophy. Design cables that offer the most accurate signal transfer possible. This may seem like a logical goal, but in fact many cable companies alter the signal for what they perceive to be the “best sound.” The problem with creating this unnatural distortion is that it permanently alters the signal flowing through the cable. The distortion may make a particular piece of equipment sound better at one frequency but worse at another. The essence of the original signal is lost forever.

There is no single magic bullet for cable design. Superior design is a mix of conductor material, dielectric, conductor and shield geometry, jacket stiffness, along with fanatical dedication to manufacturing quality. Only technical expertise combined with years of experience can result in the kind of performance that transcends the ordinary. Mogami uses only pure OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) for the best signal transmission, as well as XLPE (cross linked polyethylene) insulation for high dielectric strength and dimensional stability.

You could fill a book with specs but in the end it comes down to the purist philosophy that runs through every Mogami cable. It’s why Mogami is a top choice for studio professionals and touring bands everywhere.
