Belden Brilliance 1776 and 2221 microphone cables

Belden has extended its line of broadcast products in the EMEA region with the launch of two Brilliance microphone cables. Brilliance 1776 - Belden’s strongest microphone cable to date - and compact digital microphone cable Brilliance 2221 - the company’s finest performing digital cable available - offer maximum toughness and flexibility for analog and digital applications.

Brilliance 1776 is a super-strong Analog Microphone Cable capable of withstanding the rough handling and constant use of studio and live environments. Belden claims it is its strongest ever microphone cable, featuring a minimum pull strength of 113 kg.

The cable is engineered with high-strength custom alloy conductors and a tough EPDM rubber jacket, making it suitable for rental houses and other applications where microphone cables face repeated use and damage. Brilliance 1776 is available as cost-saving put-ups of 75 m.

Belden’s second cable introduction is a solution for applications where full-size microphone cables are too large. The Brilliance 2221 Compact Digital Microphone Cable is small enough for handheld solid-state recording devices (SSD) with miniature microphone connectors, such as those from Lemo, Neutrik or Switchcraft, or those using Bantam or TT jacks as the balanced line input.

With an impedance of 110 Ω, the cable is able to carry digital audio. It has ultralow capacitance of 42.7 pF/m.

Brilliance 2221 is suitable for use as an analog or digital patch cable where Bantam or TT patch connectors are used. It can also be used as a DMX lighting control cable when small size and flexibility are required.
