Professional cables for microphones and audio components featuring patented Die
Hard “grip tight” XLR’s and other improved connectors. The cables are constructed with
tinned copper braided shields, tough exible PVC jackets in matte Black, and double
insulated OFHC conductors.

For the Die Hard series, we have developed an innovative group of connectors that increases and strengthens the contact surface area between connectors,
provides greater protection from EM interference and minimizes the oxidation of metallic parts.
In the new Die Hard XLR connector, these abilities are particularly benecial. The electrical contact on the typical XLR is entrusted to 3 tiny pins, which must have
excellent mechanical stability to prevent failure. In the case of Die Hard XLR connectors, the contact between the pins is improved by patented spring tensioned
brass sleeves that provide extra grip and alignment between the connector housings. This helps keep the conductive pins in perfect contact with the opposite
connector -even when the cable is subjected to extreme handling.
The brass sleeves of the Die Hard XLR also accomplish a secondary, but critical function. While the entire cable is shielded against external EM interference,
the point where the pins meet inside the typical XLR connector is not. This can compromise the shielding of the entire cable and cause noise in the signal. The
solution is to shield the exposed pins by connecting the brass sleeve that surrounds them, to the circuit of the braided shield. Now the cable is shielded entirely.
When the pins of the typical XLR oxidize, the connector will fail. Gold plating, while expensive, prevents corrosion of contact surfaces. This is the solution chosen
by, Die Hard engineers, to insure many years of excellent service even in the most extreme environments.
