The Loops 100m 2-Core Shielded Audio Cable is designed for professional audio engineers, sound technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, high-fidelity solution for custom-length cable builds. Its primary benefit is the combination of oxygen-free copper and a dedicated foil shield, which effectively minimizes signal interference in both studio and live environments. However, users should note that as a bulk cable, it requires manual soldering and the separate purchase of appropriate connectors (XLR, 6.35mm, or 3.5mm) to become operational.

Yes, the 2-core design is perfectly capable of carrying 48V phantom power when correctly terminated with XLR connectors.
No, this cable is designed for low-voltage signal level audio (microphones/instruments). It is not rated for the high-power currents used by passive speakers.
No, this is a bulk 100-meter spool. You will need to purchase your desired XLR, 6.35mm, or 3.5mm connectors separately.
Yes, it features a foil shield specifically designed to block interference.
The external diameter is 3.2mm, making it very slim and easy to manage in complex cable routing setups.
Yes, the two cores allow for stereo signals (Left/Right) or balanced mono signals depending on your wiring configuration.
Check your solder points at the connector; a cold solder joint or a broken shield connection often causes noise.
If the cable is too thin for the connector's strain relief, use heat shrink tubing over the cable before soldering to increase the thickness for a firm grip.
Ensure the foil shield is continuous and that the drain wire is correctly soldered to the ground pin of your connector.
To prepare this cable, strip the PVC outer sheath carefully to expose the internal cores and shielding foil. Ensure the shield is properly grounded when soldering to your chosen XLR, 6.35mm, or 3.5mm connectors. Because the cable has a 3.2mm diameter, verify that your connector's cable gland or strain relief is compatible with this size for a secure fit.
