Whirlwind MK425 Accusonic+2 mic cable is great value at a reasonable price
This is the first Whirlwind mic cable I have purchased. I have several 1/4" Whirlwind instrument cables, some over 20 years old, and never a problem.
The MK425 looks like it will last a long time. The Liechtenstein connectors have metal barrels and gold-plated pins. A sturdy molded strain relief screws onto an internal cable clamp. There is a flat molded into both the male and the female connector barrel which tells you which side is up ... very useful in poorly-lit venues when you are plugging in.
The Accusonic cable is capacitance-corrected and has a tough, matte-finish surface. It feels a little stiffer than my older mic cables, even though it's the same diameter. This means it's less likely to kink when it's being coiled.
