Know before you buy
The precision-twisted, twin-axial design helps maintain signal integrity by balancing the electrical characteristics of the cable. This configuration, paired with dual shielding, is highly effective at rejecting electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise.
Yes, the Model 4AB uses standard XLR connectors, making it compatible with most professional-grade microphones, preamps, mixers, and powered speakers that feature balanced XLR inputs and outputs.
High Conductive Oxygen-Free Copper (HC-OFC) minimizes impurities within the metal, which reduces signal resistance and distortion. This ensures a cleaner, more accurate transmission of the audio signal from your source to your output device.
The connectors are crafted from solid brass and finished with gold plating. This combination provides a secure, corrosion-resistant fit that is designed to withstand regular use in a home or studio environment.
The limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It provides peace of mind that the cable is built to last and that Tributaries stands behind the quality of their hand-assembled construction.
