MSC-005 Overview
The Hosa MSC-005 is a 5ft balanced microphone cable designed for professional audio applications where signal integrity and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. Terminated with Switchcraft XLR3F and XLR3M connectors, it delivers a secure, low-noise connection suited for live sound, studio recording, broadcast, and installed AV environments. The cable features 20 AWG dual OFC conductors and a 95% OFC braided shield for effective rejection of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. It is a practical choice for audio engineers, system integrators, houses of worship, and touring professionals who require dependable performance at every connection point.
