A premium microphone can only perform as well as the cable connecting it to the preamp. The Telefunken SGMC-5 Stage Series XLR cable bridges that gap, providing touring professionals, studio engineers, and broadcast artists with an uncompromising, low-loss signal path. Measuring 5 meters (approx. 16.4 feet) in length, this cable offers the perfect balance of mobility and signal integrity—long enough for effortless stage tracking or vocal booth placement, yet compact enough to prevent high-frequency roll-off or cable clutter.
While generic cables strip away the fine acoustic details of your performance, the Stage Series is engineered around sonic transparency. It acts as an extension of your microphone, allowing the natural warmth, subtle transient responses, and dimensional depth of premium dynamic and condenser mics to pass through completely uncolored. Built to withstand the physical abuse of heavy foot traffic, tight packing crates, and repetitive winding, the SGMC-5 is a reliable backbone for any serious live or studio audio system.
Product Description
Premium Copper Core Construction and Low-Capacitance Architecture:
At the heart of the Telefunken SGMC-5 are dual high-gauge, stranded oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. By utilizing ultra-pure, non-recycled copper cores, the cable eliminates internal grain boundaries that cause signal degradation. This meticulous design drastically lowers the cable’s capacitance, allowing your audio signal to move swiftly without the "muddy" lower-mids or "darkened" highs commonly associated with budget cables. Your microphones will sound more open, detailed, and true to life.
To combat the chaotic RF (Radio Frequency) and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) noise present on modern stages—caused by wireless systems, LED lighting rigs, and power transformers—the SGMC-5 features a heavy-duty copper braided shield. This high-density grid delivers near-total coverage, draining away stray noise and ground loops before they can infect your pristine audio path.
Genuine Neutrik Connectors with Industrial Strain Relief:
To guarantee absolute structural stability and clean connection points, Telefunken terminates the Stage Series cables with industry-standard Neutrik XX-Series 3-pin XLR connectors. These heavy-duty connectors feature a durable black metal housing paired with hard-gold plated contacts. Gold plating ensures optimal electrical conductivity and prevents oxidation or corrosion over years of exposure to humid stage environments.
The connectors incorporate Neutrik's legendary internal chuck-type strain relief system and a flexible polyurethane boot. This mechanism securely grips the cable jacket inside the shell, distributing mechanical stress evenly and preventing internal wire solder joints from pulling loose when the cable is pulled or stepped on during a frantic stage changeover.
Key Features
5-METER STAGE RADIUS: 5m (16.4-foot) length provides excellent performance distance across stages, vocal booths, and control rooms.
OXYGEN-FREE COPPER (OFC): Dual premium-stranded OFC conductors ensure flawless, ultra-clean analog signal transmission.
LOW-CAPACITANCE DESIGN: Engineered to protect high-frequency detail and fast transient response from rolling off over long runs.
