BELDEN 8423 FP704 & NEUTRIK XLR (206cm)

Cable: BELDEN 8423
Connector (Phone): FURUTECH FP704
Connector (XLR): NEUTRIK
Solder: KESTER 44

The soldering iron touched the connector's plastic parts during work, resulting in numerous scratches.
Because similar cables were stored together, the cable itself has scuffs and faded printing in some areas.

This is part of a collection of cables I made myself when introducing new speakers, searching for the optimal cable. Therefore, it has only been used for a few hours for sound checks, with very short overall usage time.

Regarding the sound characteristics, among BELDEN cables, the 8423 offers a sound with ample low and high frequencies, but it's a cleaner sound compared to the 8428. For those who prefer a richer sound, the 8428 would be better.
The cable itself is flat, so the connectors significantly alter the sound.

Above all, the FURUTECH FP704 is amazing!! Some websites mentioned that it makes the sound louder, and that's true. The connectors are exceptionally heavy. While the sound impression can vary depending on the environment, the FURUTECH connectors tend to have a strong presence.
