Mogami 2534 Flexible Starquad Microphone Cable  24AWG OFC Shielded Audio Cable (Made in Japan)

The Mogami 2534 Flexible Starquad Microphone Cable is the reference standard Neglex quad cable, trusted worldwide for both digital and analog recording. With its quad (4-conductor) design, it delivers 10–20dB better noise rejection compared to standard twisted pair cables, making it ideal for environments with high levels of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).

The NEGLEX OFC conductors provide pristine signal clarity, while XLPE insulation ensures durability and prevents shrink-back during soldering. The spiral copper shield offers superior sound quality compared to foil or braided shields and simplifies termination. Compact, flexible, and reliable, the 2534 is widely used in professional studios, home studios, pre-amps, amps, and tape decks where absolute low noise and fidelity are critical.
