A stage-ready cable
Encased in a robust outer sheath made from soft PVC, this symmetrical microphone cable combines remarkably good flexibility with excellent durability. Its tightly stranded individual wires ensure high transmission quality, while the copper spiral shielding made from 0.1mm individual strands provides no less than 99 per cent coverage. Compared with other Sommer Cable products, such as the Micro-Stage and Cicada, the Stage 22 Highflex features thicker conductors, making it particularly suitable for applications where greater robustness is required. The Micro-Stage, by contrast, is designed for connectors with a small cable entry, while the Cicada is intended for internal rack cabling or clip-on microphones. Shown here in black, the UV-resistant Stage 22 Highflex is also available in a wide range of colours.
Consistent specs
The two inner conductors of the Sommer Cable Stage 22 Highflex consist of 28 individual copper strands, giving them a high degree of flexibility, with a cross-sectional area of 0.22mm² and a diameter of 0.53mm. Each conductor is encased in foamed polyethylene, which produces an overall conductor diameter of 1.3mm. The capacitance in turn is 70 picofarads per metre between conductors and 130 picofarads per metre between conductor and screen, so the cable is well suited to microphone connections. With an overall diameter of 6.4mm, the Stage 22 Highflex has a characteristic impedance of 100 ohms and complies with CPR Euroclass FCA for fire behaviour.
For live performers
Venue operators, hoteliers, catering establishments, and shop owners who need sturdy cables for their event setups will find that the Sommer Cable Stage 22 Highflex will capably handle a range of applications. Its 6.4mm-thick outer sheath provides the durability required for live performances, while the cable remains exceptionally flexible, making it equally practical for smaller home studios. Its long-lasting construction also makes it a reliable choice for touring bands and technical service providers, who benefit from a high-quality cable at an affordable price. Designed for use in temperatures ranging from -25 to 80°C, the Stage 22 Highflex is suitable for a wide variety of event environments.
About Sommer Cable
Sommer Cable was founded in 1999 by Rainer Blanck and Friedhelm Sommer, together with a team of dedicated musicians, sound engineers, electronics experts and event technicians led by cable specialist Pascal Miguet. Their aim was to develop cables and connectors for a wide range of applications and standards that combined exceptional quality with ease of use. Production began the same year, followed in 2004 by the development of the Signature Series, with bassist Helmut Hattler becoming its first endorser. The company also expanded internationally, establishing a branch in France in 2005 and entering the US market ten years later. The company now offers a broad range of cables and connectors, available by the metre or in fixed configurations, alongside modular solutions such as the SYSBOXX system. Today, Sommer Cable is one of the leading cable manufacturers, offering a comprehensive portfolio for the audio, video, broadcast, multimedia and hi-fi sectors.
On the boards
The Sommer Cable Stage 22 Highflex is suitable for connecting microphones, instruments, effects units, and mixing desks, with its robust 6.4mm-thick outer sheath proving particularly useful in demanding stage environments. Its high flexibility and resistance to repeated bending make it easy to handle when cables need to be positioned precisely, while also allowing for quick and convenient coiling while packing away. The different colours in which the cable is available can be used to distinguish different lengths or, alternatively, to identify specific functions and instruments at a glance. Its UV-resistant construction also makes the Stage 22 Highflex suitable for outdoor applications.
