Gepco Showcases X-Band DBM Double Braid Cable at AES 2009

NEW YORK, NY - Gepco, a General Cable company and industry leader in the manufacturing and distribution of professional audio and video cables, will showcase its XB201DBM X-Band microphone cable at AES 2009 (Stand 151). The XB201DBM is an extra-flexible, high bandwidth microphone cable with a double braid shield for added noise rejection - ideal for recording studio facilities or live sound venues.

Based on the XB201M, the XB201DBM has a wide frequency response and exceptional RF/EMI noise rejection. These attributes are achieved by utilizing a gas/polymer dielectric that significantly reduces the capacitance, as well as cabling the pairs with a tight and precise twist. Conductors are made from finely stranded, oxygen-free copper to maximize conductivity and protect against corrosion. Shielded with a double (2 x 95%) copper braid, the XB201DBM provides exceptional noise rejection. As with all cables in the X-Band series, the XB201DBM features proprietary matte PVC compound that is both flexible and durable.

"Our XB201DBM builds upon the solid reputation of the X-Band cable line," states Scott Fehl, Product Marketing Manager for Gepco Brand Cable. "The double braid shield provides greater noise rejection in a construction that is also extremely flexible and flaccid."
