About the 8412

Belden 8412 is a professional-grade, rugged microphone cable designed for durability and reliable performance in demanding environments such as live stages, outdoor production, and broadcast. It features two 20 AWG (26x34 stranded) high-conductivity tinned copper conductors insulated with EPDM rubber. The cable includes a dual shield system with a rayon fiber braid and an 85% coverage tinned copper braid shield, wrapped in a cotton serve and finished with a tough EPDM rubber outer jacket. This construction provides excellent noise rejection and mechanical protection, making it suitable for dynamic and condenser microphones, powered speakers, audio interfaces, and interconnects. The cable is often terminated with high-quality Neutrik XX Series XLR connectors and silver solder, with options for customization in length and connector types. It is known for its legendary rugged reliability and has been virtually unchanged for over 70 years, making it an iconic choice in the audio industry.
