Van Damme Releases Artist Series SONEX QUAD & ORISON

Van Damme is proud to announce the launch of their newest product series: The Artist Series.

The Artist Series includes microphone cables and instrument cables and is aimed at demanding musicians, instrumentalists, studios, streamers and creatives. The Artists Series incorporates over 30 years of experience in developing, manufacturing and providing cables to our users. These include Coldplay, Abbey Road Studios, BBC Broadcast, as well as applications in the automotive and aviation industries such as the Eurofighter.

Van Damme Artist Series SONEX QUAD XLR | Microphone cable

The SONEX QUAD microphone cable is based on the Van Damme XKE Starquad, which was originally developed on behalf of the BBC for TV broadcasting of the Olympic Games. The main criteria were to avoid disruptive influences themselvesPower sources to withstand and at the same time ensure the highest signal integrity over extremely long distances.

With quad technology, two wires per signal path (2 x + pole & 2 x – pole) are used, which are twisted around each other. This increases the surface area of ​​the cable cores, which means that noise is induced more evenly and is better suppressed during signal inversion at the end of the cable.

The Artist Series SONEX QUAD microphone cable builds on this technical innovation and sets new standards in design, robustness and workmanship. The jacket is made of PVC-neoprene composite, covered with polyethylene terephthalate monofilament yarns. This construction not only ensures an attractive three-dimensional appearance, but also exceptional robustness against mechanical and chemical influences such as abrasion on sharp edges, grinding over concrete or in contact with cleaning agent residues.

Van Damme Artist Series ORISON TS | Instrumentenkabel

The ORISON instrument cable from the Van Damme Artist Series was specially developed for demanding musicians and sound engineers who set the highest standards in terms of sound quality, durability and aesthetic demands.

Whether in the professional studio, on tour, in large arenas, on the beach or traveling between stations – Van Damme ORISON is always reliably at your side. The ORISION instrument cable offers outstanding protection against external influences such as abrasion on concrete or sharp edges, UV rays, salty sea air and high humidity. In addition, it is extremely resistant to chemical substances – for example, if it comes into contact with residues of gasoline or cleaning agents when laying on the floor.

This cable was specifically designed for analog instrument signals from guitars, bass and synthesizers. The Van Damme instrument cable is used in studios and by artists on stage such as Air Lyndhurst and Muse. The low capacitance of 85 pF/m (core to screen) ensures almost linear and authentic signal transmission.

About Van Damme

Van Damme is a world-leading manufacturer of special pro audio cable solutions. Since 1987, we have been developing audio cables, video cables, data cables and Lightning cables with the highest demands of our customers. All analogue assembled cables are manufactured in the VDC factory in London and Dresden and come with a lifetime manufacturer’s guarantee.

Van Damme cables can be found in a wide range of applications, from hotels to homes, stadiums to cathedrals, automobiles to superyachts, fighter jets and beyond.

However, VDC and Van Damme’s famous quality control has always been determined by the “band on tour” and the recording studio. A band’s stage set-up, break-down and departure, coupled with the discerning ears of an obsessive sound engineer, form the basis of three fundamental cornerstones of Van Damme®: sound quality, reliability and value for money.

“Van Damme has consistently delivered quality cable solution to the studios for over 20 years.”​ –  Abbey Road Studios London
