KLOTZ M1K1FM0500

Klotz M1K1FM0500 is a 5-metre microphone cable from the M1 series, terminated with KLOTZ XLR 3-pin female and male connectors featuring nickel-plated metal shells and silver-plated contacts. The MY206 cable core — 0.22 mm² (AWG 24) ETP oxygen-free copper with copper spiral shielding and a lead-free PVC jacket — holds capacitance to 60 pF/m. At 5 metres the total cable capacitance is 300 pF, a value that produces no audible bandwidth reduction with either dynamic or condenser microphone output impedances. The 5 m length suits close-source microphone setups, multi-mic recording sessions in medium-sized rooms, and broadcast applications where the preamp or stagebox is positioned near the source.

MY206 fat-twist construction — geometry held under mechanical stress

The MY206 cable's fat twisted-core design maintains cross-section symmetry after compression and torsion — the everyday mechanical loads that stage and studio cables absorb during setup, use, and storage. This geometry prevents the permanent deformation that causes gradual capacitance drift and progressive electrical degradation in cables with thinner, less structured cores. The copper spiral shield rejects induced electromagnetic interference without stiffening the jacket, allowing the cable to lie flat naturally between patchbay inputs and microphone stands without restricting positioning. The lead-free PVC outer jacket meets current environmental compliance standards and resists abrasion when dragged across rough stage surfaces during repeated productions.

5 metres — the right length for close microphone configurations

Five metres eliminates excess cable on stage when the microphone is positioned close to the stagebox or rack-mounted preamp, while providing enough slack for position adjustments without straining the XLR connector. In the recording studio this length covers the distance from an instrument position to a wall-mounted patchbay in typical multi-microphone tracking setups. KLOTZ-manufactured XLR connectors with nickel-plated metal shells and silver-plated contacts maintain consistent low contact resistance through the full service life of the cable, including the daily mate-unmate cycles typical in rental inventory and touring production.
