Sommer Microphone Cables
Club Series MKII
No blood in those veins... but yet a whole lot of life. A wire diameter of 2 x 0.34 mm2 is impressive and the electrical data speaks for itself. A cable giving great performance at an excellent price, used for stage and studio settings.
The large diameter and the low capacity guarantee outstanding transmission quality, even over long distances. The shielding consisting of polished copper wires is 95 % optically opaque (instead of the usual 85%).
The robust, rubberlike, matt outer sleeve is preferred by stage musicians and guarantees the highest flexibility even in lowest temperatures.
Starting now the new MKII is shielded with copper braiding.
Now also available in an FRNC-version!
THE ADVANTAGES:
- High transmission quality through the use of oxygen-free copper stranding with a large wire diameter of 2 x 0.34 mm2
- Very low capacity due to the PE-insulation
- Good protection due to the dense copper braided shielding
- High flexibility makes it easy to wind
THE APPLICATION:
- Stage application
- Studio operation
- Fixed installation
Stage 22 highflex
One thick coat... will protect the interior against mechanical wear, eg. pulling, tugging, and knotting. For this reason we equipped the STAGE 22 with a thick outer jacket of 0.252 inch. Also the electrical data and the technical construction are worth taking a look at: The STAGE 22 offers low capacity and high bending cycles, this is provided by the fine and dense individual stranding.
The shielding made of polished copper wires is 99% optically opaque (instead of the usual 85%).
Thus the STAGE 22 is the ideal cable for stage, home recorder, the leasing agent, and the installation technician.
The STAGE 22 is a very affordable cable with no need to compromise.

The Source MKII highflex
Specialists sing their praise...Specialists have turned it into a bestseller. This cable was originally developed for the manufacturers of professional studio microphones, eg. BPM and Schoeps. Their demands for top quality helped us to create a professional and yet affordable studio microphone cable.
THE SOURCE is 100% shielded through the use of dense copper spiral shielding and a robust braided fleece around the wire pairs.The fleece is vaporized on both sides with a conductive aluminum layer. This guarantees endurance of 100 % shielding even with strong wear. This cable should be used wherever electrical sources could interfere with audio and data transmission. Excellent values, comparable cables cost almost twice the price at our completitor's.
Because of the fine 0.0020 inch copper stranding it is a very popular cable for outdoor transmission and mobile application.
THE ADVANTAGES:
- Neutral and loss free audio transmission due to the special copper strand construction
- 100 % Shielding due to dense copper spiral shielding and an additional AL-fleece
- Professional technology at a low price
- Available in a PUR-version, resistant to notching and cold temperatures
THE APPLICATION:
- Professional studio and microphone technology
- Outdoor transmission / transmission vehicle technology
- Enduring stage application
Symbiotic
Bet that... you can hear this cable on the radio? We added the SYMBIOTIC to our program to meet the demands of many broadcast and sound technicians. They appreciate the extremely dense double spiral shielding made of oxygen-free copper, the small diameter, the enormous flexibility with the extremely fine strand construction of 102 x 0.05 mm2 individual wires.
The SYMBIOTIC was especially constructed according to specifications set forth by broadcast stations all over the world. Because of its minimal weight the SYMBIOTIC also is ideal for use with goose-neck-microphones.
For permanent installation we recommend the halogen-free version of the SYMBIOTIC and the cold-resistance version in compliance with VDE 0472/ Part 815. It is equipped with a highly flexible TPE-jacket material guaranteed for a temperature range of -50 °C to +125 °C.
THE ADVANTAGES:
- Extremely resistant to hot and cold temperatures (TPE)
- Constructed according to German Radio and BBC-Specifications
- Extremely flexible due to the fine strand construction (102 x 0.05 mm2 individual wires)
- Small diameter, thus inconspicuous when installed
- Perfectly shielded against RF-interference
THE APPLICATION:
- Professional radio, TV, and studio technology
- Outdoor transmission (200-0601H)
- Fixed installation in- and outside of public buildings
- Goose-neck-microphones
Galileo
Double...shields better. Just like the SYNTAX, but a little bit more exclusive due to the double counter-rotating copper spiral shielding and the wire pairs embedded in PVC. This makes it even more flexible. Because of the thicker wire diameter (2 x 0.38 mm2) it is suitable for distances of more than 328 ft. This cable is technically sound and may be the best microphone cable on the world market.
Your clients in the recording studio will be surprised by the noise-free transmission!
On the GALILEO 238 Plus (Article-No. 200-0271) the two counter-rotating spiral shields were insulated separately with a non-conductive foil. This separation of the grounding shields is very often used in professional sound studios and in broadcasting.
THE ADVANTAGES:
- Extreme long life and twist-proof due to the thick jacket and the wire pairs embedded in PVC
- Absolutely neutral and loss-free audio transmission due to the use of fine copper strands
- Excellent protection due to the dense counter-rotating double spiral shielding
- Very flexible due to the dense wire stranding
- Loss-free transmission over long distances due to a large wire diameter of 2 x 0.38 mm2
THE APPLICATION:
- Highly professional studio and stage technology
- Demanding transmission vehicle technology for radio and broadcasting
- First class HiFi-connection (conductor red and white on Pin1, shielding separately)
Symbiotic 3
Triplets ensure even more safeness...for the SYMBIOTIC 3, which is constructed in the same manner as its brother SYMBIOTIC, but with an additional wire providing better balance when connected. This connection technique is standard at some TV and radio stations, sometimes even a ÓmustÓ. Of course, these wires may also be used for the phantom supply.
The jacket material made of TPE should be specially mentioned.
It is resistant to cold and heat, and also notch-resistant. TPE has similar properties to PUR, but is significantly more flexible.
THE ADVANTAGES:
- High transmission safety due to the possibility of connecting the third conductor
- Very high resistance to cold and hot temperatures due to the special TPE-jacket
- Very good shielding against interference due to the double copper shielding
THE APPLICATION:
- High quality microphone cable for studio and outdoor application
- Ideal for the use with goose-neck-microphones
Primus
The marathon runner...doesn't have it easy. He must run and run. In sporting arenas our cables also must put long distances behind themselves. But they neither lie around, nor do they run. The diameter of 2 x 0.50 mm2 makes this cable ideal for theatres, public buildings, sporting arenas, etc. Because of the 100 % shielding and a thick outer jacket the PRIMUS is also recommended for installation in discos and night clubs. Neither aggressive nicotine nor strong variations in temperature can affect this cable. Stage technicans swear by it and the touring sound agencies prefer the PRIMUS because of its endurance and "memory", making manual winding easy.

Square 4-Core MKII highflex
The sound director... sets the tone and our cable is the same kind of Òshow-offÒ. The SQUARE is a top microphone cable with great extravagance. Two wires are paired for optimum sound. This improves the capacitive values. In studios the cable is especially used to provide phantom power or for noise suppression (here the connection should be crossed over, opposite wires RED/WHITE and BLUE/YELLOW are paired). Dense spiral shielding and an additional metalic fleece foil guarantee superior protection. Because of the complicated, precise construction this cable can often be found in highly demanding HiFi-studios. A highly valued cable because of its homogenous linear sound image.
