Premium Mogami and Neutrik Construction
Designed for Professional Digital Audio
Standard microphone cables may pass an AES/EBU signal over short distances, but they are not necessarily built to maintain the 110-ohm characteristic impedance specified for AES3 digital audio. Mogami W3080 is purpose-built for this application, helping reduce signal reflections, jitter-related errors and intermittent digital audio problems in properly designed systems.
Use it between digital consoles, stage boxes, audio interfaces, converters, processors, recorders, amplifiers and other equipment fitted with 3-pin XLR AES/EBU connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mogami W3080 a true AES/EBU cable?
Yes. Mogami W3080 is engineered with the controlled 110-ohm characteristic impedance required for professional AES3/AES-EBU digital audio connections.
Does this cable use genuine Neutrik connectors?
Yes. The standard assembly uses a genuine Neutrik NC3FXX female connector and NC3MXX male connector with rugged metal shells and professional strain relief.
Can I use W3080 as a microphone cable?
Yes. Although W3080 is designed primarily for 110-ohm digital audio, its balanced low-capacitance construction also supports analog microphone and line-level signals. For maximum noise rejection in analog-only microphone applications, a dedicated star-quad cable may be the better choice.
What is the difference between Mogami W3080 and Canare DA202AT?
Both are professional 110-ohm AES/EBU cables. Mogami W3080 is the premium choice for customers who specifically prefer the Mogami brand, while Canare DA202AT provides a strong professional alternative. The best choice may depend on brand preference, required jacket color, availability and project specifications.
Can AV-Cables build custom lengths or bulk quantities?
Yes. Custom lengths and volume production are available for stage systems, studios, broadcast facilities, integrators, government projects and OEM requirements.
