There is a certain rocker, you know his name and the name of his group, but I can't say it here. (We're in negotiations!) But he's famous for going through mic cable as if it were string. At one point, he even went through Belden 8412, a cable we thought was nearly indestructible. Now the rocker is going through a competitor's mic cable at a rate of one per show. One mic cable PER SHOW! When you're touring the globe, that adds up to a lot of cable.
This caused us to think. So we sat down and figured out how to make the strongest microphone cable ever. You can see it for the first time at NAB on April 16 through 19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We're in booth C8925, right in the center of the central hall.
This new cable innovation is called Belden 1776, a revolutionary microphone cable. And how strong is it? Well, that's a great question. We don't really know and that will make for an interesting experiment. We're going to have a contest at our booth. At noon each day, we will load weights on the cable - while it is working! There's a tension scale with a memory attached. You get to guess what the weight will be that will cause our cable to stop working. When the sound stops, there will be a winner! We're still discussing prizes, but, it will be something cool. And we'll do it every day at noon for all four days. That means four prizes. You can guess every day if you want, and you don't have to be present to win. (But who would miss something as weird as this at NAB?)

Steve Lampen and team are busy at work at opening day of the National Association of Broadcasters' annual NAB Show in booth C8925, right in the middle of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
NAB marks Belden's largest trade show booth of the year. As you've read on Steve Lampen's posts, there's a crazy contest to test the strength of our new 1776 cable, the strongest microphone cable available. Participants can guess what weight the cable can withstand - and still work - before it breaks.
If you're still planning on attending and need an exhibits pass, go to www.nabshow.com and choose "New Registration" for a first-time attendee or "Alumni Lookup" if you have attended before. When it asks for the Show Registration Code, put in LV2039 and follow the prompts.
