Sommer cable introduces a new cable constructions for studio technologies that are extremely impressive. Solid wires are often preferred for inside conductors, with increased conductivity of the surface layer and a stranding technique that improves audio transmission. But this is only true in theory, as a solid wire has a lot of disadvantages. For one, it is so hard that it can damage the wire pair insulation with even a slight movement and it lacks flexibility, meaning that the copper can be compressed by even a slight surface bent. Also the drag on the plug connector pins should not be underestimated.

To solve this problem SOMMER CABLE has developed the new SC-CARBOKAB 225. It has conductor smoothing material made of high-density carbon directly applied to the concentrically stranded litz. With the electrical advantages of a solid wire it stays flexible and ensures consistent, excellent attributes. The good transmission properties of the SC-CARBOKAB 225 also ensure an absolutely linear sound image over longer distances of up to 656 ft. The 100 % opaque shielding (metal fleece + copper braiding) is very important, because the peripheral units in the studio (effect units, computers, synthesizers, etc.) emit a lot of interference signals. For insulation we use a special mixture of HD-PP, which ensures lowest capacitive attributes. With this cable you are "state-of-the-art" and will be able to avoid tiring “esoteric“ discussions in the future!
