the sssnake SM10RD

There are only 2 kinds of mic cable really.. Those that are good enough, and those that are not. This one is good enough, and reasonably priced. It sounds the same as my Neutrik/Belden or Cannon/Belden cables, and, unless abused, should stay sounding good for a while.

The pros: it's "good enough" that I can't tell the difference, is competetively priced, and looks good too. (but why none in Green? I like Green for stereo pairs, Port and Starboard!) - good enough I'll be slipping a few more on my next order.

The cons: Ooops.. Sorry, can't find any. :-)

Want a good enough 10M M/F XLR cable? This is one.

This is a satisfactory choice for those seeking an affordable microphone cable solution with sturdy construction, without signal loss or interference.
The cable's 10-foot length provides ample flexibility for various setups, making it suitable for small to medium-sized studios or live performances. The connectors are reasonably durable, ensuring a secure connection between your microphone and audio equipment.
While the sssnake SM10RD may not offer the same level of premium quality as higher-end options, it delivers acceptable performance for its price range. If you're on a budget and in need of a basic microphone cable, the SM10RD is a decent choice that gets the job done.

I bought some of these to use as microphone cables and being coloured allow easy recognition of which channel is which on the mixer. These cables are extremely cheap at just 6.40 EUR. For that price I couldn't even buy the plugs let alone the cable! The plugs certainly aren't Neutrik's but they are good enough quality to use with microphones and I intend to use these for karaoke with some cheap T Bone MB 60's The female connector locks positively with the microphone and the cable certainly doesn't look and feel like a cheap and cheerful entry level cable. The cable itself is quite flexible and should give years of service before it fractures.

So how does the sssnake sound? Well I cannot distinguish any difference in sound quality between it and a Cordial CAM 9 which costs more than double the price. I cannot detect any restriction in the upper frequency response. There is no microphony produced when handling the cable and I cannot detect any hum or noise even when the cable is placed directly next to mains cabling.

Would I recommend these cables, if you need a colured cable then definitely yes! At this price I would suggest stocking up before Thomann realise what a bargain these are and put the price up!
