Presented here with a cable length of 15'', this Warm Audio Premier Series XLR Cable 4-Pack 15'is designed to provide a high-end connection between balanced gear with XLR jacks, such as microphones, outboard equipment, and interface-to-monitoring connections. If you care about the details of your sound onstage and in the studio, use this cable to preserve your signal.

This XLR cable is chock-full of features that enable a top-of-the-line performance, such as gold-plated connectors and a star-quad wiring scheme for superior RFI rejection in the balancing process. Double-Ruessen shielding helps protect against EMI, and a braided outer wrap fights against tangling. To guarantee an optimal performance, Warm Audio partnered with Gotham AG, one of Switzerland's best producers of premium cable.

Warm's Premier cables go above and beyond, adding features like gold-plated connectors, a braided outer wrap, four-conductor star-quad construction (helping aid in giving you powerful rejection of RFI), and double-Ruessen shielding (also for increased rejection of EMI).

This braided wrap removes the friction that occurs when rubber or PVC rub together, so it's much easier to handle and wrap the cable. No more fighting with a rat's nest of cable spaghetti. The braided wrap also adds an element of strength and reliability, as it helps to protect the cable's PVC jacket from damage due to pinching or binding.

A traditional balanced cable uses three cores of wire to carry audio signals—one shielded core for the positive leg, one shielded core for the negative leg, and a plain outer wrap that functions as the ground. The idea is this: a fully balanced system flips the phase of the signal, merges the positive and negative signals together, and effectively cancels out interference encountered along the cable's length by throwing it out of phase with the audio.

Star-quad construction takes that concept even further by using five cores instead of three. Two cores are provided each for the positive and negative legs, as well as a single ground. This helps to further shield the audio from RFI (radio frequency interference), ensuring an even better performance.

Double-Ruessen shielding goes further than more traditional techniques in two ways: First, the cable is wrapped with two separate shields. Second, the outer shield is wrapped in a contrary direction to the inner shield, creating a stronger and more complete barrier from EMI for the internal cores.

Gold connectors have characteristics that are advantageous for signal transfer and provide more resistance to corrosion than other metals, making it well-suited for cable connectors.

Q: 1. I had my company buy three of these mic sets and for some reason the audio volume dips during recordings. WE connected everything fine and plug it into Rodecaster pro but each time we do a podcast the volume dips and comes back up on a few seconds. Distance between speaker and mic has not changed, Could you say what could be the cause?

A: If you are using the RodeCaster Pro Integrated Podcast Production Studio, then the Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphones should be connected directly to the XLR mic inputs on the RodeCaster Pro with phantom power turned on. It sounds like you may have the compressor and/or master compressor effects turned on and possibly set too high. The compressor is used to smooth and balance the dynamic range in your audio so your voice is clear, punchy, and intelligible. It can even out the audio so the softest parts of your speech can be heard and the loudest parts of your speech will not be overpowering or distorted. The master compressor affects the entire output of your podcast, so if the problem occurs with all of the mics, that may be what is causing the issue. Check the settings on both the regular and master compressor effects and adjust them as needed. Here are links to Rode's online user guide which provides useful information and tutorial videos showing how to use the built-in effects and processors included with the RodeCaster Pro: https://rode.com/en/user-guides/rodecaster-pro/using-advanced-processing-and-effects https://rode.com/en/user-guides/rodecaster-pro/setting-up-microphone-channels

Q: 2. Do you plug it into your MAC for recording?

Q: 3. I need just the microphone boom for this kit. How can i purchase two seprately?

A: While we do not sell that specific broadcast arm separately, here is a similar alternative BH #ONMBS5000.

Q: 4. Does the mixer have a USB out?

A: Yes, it's in the back

Q: 5. Does this plug right into the computer for recording?

A: The AT2020 plugs into the Q802USB via XLR cables. You can then plug the Q802USB directly into your PC via USB for recording. Just make sure your computer's input is set for the Q802USB mixer.

Q: 6. this mic (AT2020) vs Samson C01, which one is better?

A: The Samson C01 is a good value microphone at a great price, but the AT2020 is a superior microphone; no coincidence it is a top seller here at B&H.

Q: 7. Does this record soundfiles in mp3? Wav? Or Aiiff?

A: The format the microphone records in depends on which recording/editing software you are using. Say for example, you are using Audacity. When you are finished recording, you can export in a number of formats including but not limited to .mp3 and .wav

Q: 8. Will this microphone plug directly in my Phone 8 and functions easily with the Apple app "Audio Memos" ?

A: This AT2020USBi mic does include a lightning cable in the box, and will work with iPhone X models. It should work for voice memos, as well as any other app that accepts audio input.

Q: 9. can anyone tell me how to attach the pop filter to this mic stand in a way that the whole thing doesn't tip over AND the filter is in the appropriate place in front of the mic? I can't seem to figure out it. Thanks.

A: Yes, it's a bit of a struggle with lightweight boom stands. What I did was attach the pop filter to the mic stand and then shorten the boom enough to be able to place the pop filter in front (All I needed was to have the mic off the table). If that's not possible, I suggest sandbagging the mic stand so that you can safely extend the boom with the pop filter attached to it.

Q: 10. would this work usb to xbox?

A: This microphone would not be compatible with the XBox.
