German Innovation Award 2023 in Gold für ECOHEMP

Especially the abandonment of PVC for the sheath of the new cable series ECOCORD ( using a recyclable alternative fabric instead) and the additional textile sheath made of 100% hemp for the first product series ECOHEMP - as well as other aspects to reduce the CO² footprint - convinced the expert jury of the "German Design Council" with regard to the decision out of 650 submissions worldwide ( with a total of 20 "Gold Winners").

For Cordial, this is a great motivation for further steps towards sustainable products in the ECOCORD line.

More information can be found here.

ECOHEMP: Sustainable cables from Cordial

Cordial, the innovator in the field of instrument cables, is introducing a new era in cable production. We have decided to distance ourselves from traditional PVC jackets, which are criticized for their poor recyclability, and instead choose TPE-V.

TPE-V is a unique blend of soft and flexible components that ensure high flexibility and windability, as well as harder components that provide high resistance to impact and usability at high temperatures. But that's not all: TPE-V is also recyclable and requires significantly less energy to manufacture than traditional PVC materials. In addition, it is 25% lighter than PVC. This innovation is encased in a fabric jacket made of environmentally friendly hemp fibres, which are GOTS-certified.

We are proud that the entire production of our EcoHemp series takes place in Europe, in order to keep supply chains short and support a sustainable future. We also plant a tree for every cable sold through the organization Trees for the Future. The textile jacketing of our EcoHemp series is also GOTS certified.

We refer to our new meterware and product line as ECOCORD, and it is the first step towards a sustainable future at Cordial. Our philosophy is: A better world starts with a better cable. Convince yourself and learn more about our new ECOCORD instrument cables.

Innovation meets design

Drum recording with only 4 mics!

Glenn Fricker visited the LEWITT studio and showed how he just needs 4 mics to record a whole drum setup. And for measurement (and wiring) he used - of course - Cordial.

Thanks to LEWITT for sharing this awesome trick!

Glenn Fricker is an engineer at Spectre Sound Studios. He loves making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, he wanted to pass on what he's learned. On his channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and plugin effects. He has covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed. Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right there on his channel!

NEW: UV-reactive instrument cables

Complete darkness. In the middle of it all, psychadelic, colourful glowing figures moving rhythmically to the beat. On stage, a guitarist who makes the strings and hearts quiver. The new UV-reactive cables from Cordial are made for just such a moment.

The BLACKLIGHT EDITION from Cordial combines the usual outstanding inner values with a UV-reactive textile jacket that is particularly eye-catching in black light. Individual threads of UV-reactive material were woven into the textile jacket for this purpose. In clubs or on stages, these fibres make the cables shine in green or orange under black light. A real eye-catcher.

The conductor area of the bulk cable is 0.50 mm² (AWG 21), twice as high as that of conventional textile cables. To minimise microphonics effects and to protect against disturbing external influences, the cables are double-shielded with a braiding of bare copper wires on conductive plastic.

Available in green and orange in 3 and 6m with straight or angled 6.35 mm jack plugs from NEUTRIK®. Also available with silentPLUGs®.

Cordial @ Guitarsummit 2022

After a two-year absence, the who's who of the international guitar industry will finally meet again at the Rosengarten in Mannheim for the Guitar Summit.

Cool concerts, inspiring workshops, nerdy geartalk and much more await visitors over three days. A diverse programme with workshops, discussion rounds and master classes flanked by manufacturers presenting their latest gear.

Cordial has two real innovations in store for guitarists and bassists that will make playing even more fun and enjoyable. Our team will also be available at our stand to answer questions and talk shop. Those who prefer a more practical approach can try their hand at the DIY cable soldering workshop and give our bulk cables high-quality plugs from NEUTRIK®. And if you still haven't had enough, you can listen to our endorsers Chris Hermsdörfer, Peter Bursch and Sophie Chassée at their workshops.

Cordial @ Studioszene 2022

Finally, the time has come again: the cracks and heads of recording and recording studios will meet in the Rosengarten Mannheim, Germany for Studioszene 2022. Mastering engineers will meet recording professionals, mixing engineers will meet producers and manufacturers of studio equipment will inform about the latest must-haves in the studio. A varied programme including workshops, discussion rounds and master classes on the topics of drum recording, analogue work in the studio, DIY studio construction or music production in Dolby Atmos awaits the visitors.

The most important cables for all studio lovers can be discovered on the Cordial stand and our team will be available for questions and technical discussions. Those who prefer a more practical approach can try their hand at the DIY cable soldering workshop and give our bulk cables high-quality plugs from NEUTRIK®. And if you still haven't had enough, you can listen to the experiences of our friend and partner Toni Loitsch in the studio scene forum.

Merry Christmas...

... and a happy new gear!

We have all weathered a turbulent and extraordinary 2021 together.

The holidays now provide the more than welcome opportunity to take a deep breath and spend some contemplative hours.

We wish you a wonderful Xmas season and a healthy new year in every respect.

Kindest regards, your CORDIAL team

Angled at home studio

Both in the cabling of mixing desks or racks and in the home studio: there is almost always a lack of space. Microphone cables get kinked or take a bend that is too tight, and cable breakage is pre-programmed in the long run. In order to make use of the last centimetres even in the last corners and to protect the cable at the same time, Cordial has now completed its series of right-angled microphone cables with the new CPM FMR. The 90° XLR connector from NEUTRIK® saves space at the most crucial points: Whether it's a clean connection to the audio interface or the last centimetres behind the studio monitor.

The CMK 222 bulk cable used is known for its robust jacket, which provides excellent protection against damages. The conductor area of 0.22 mm² ensures very good signal transmission and thus dynamic sound without significant losses. Transparent shrink tubes at the cable ends simplify individual labelling.

The new CPM FMR is available in 5 lengths (0.50m, 1.00m, 2.50m, 5.00m and 10.00m).

Also available as CPM FRM with one angled XLR female or as CPM FRMR with two angled XLRs.

Keep it real and deal

On October 28th and 29th the SOMM DEALER DAYS will take place in Berlin: the first comprehensive MI industry meeting in Germany since the beginning of the pandemic. They are explicitly intended as a pure B2B event for all music retailers to listen to workshops or learn about new products in a relaxed atmosphere.

As an active member of SOMM, we are of course also part of the event. We are happy to welcome merchants from the Cordial Family and those who would like to become one at our booth on the 4th floor.

Customer Service & Supply boosted

In order to be able to respond even more individually to customer wishes, Cordial has created two additional positions in our order processing and supply departments and filled them directly with two very experienced and motivated new colleagues.

Since April, Tanja Reitmeier has strengthened the supply department as an absolute all-rounder and ensures that our delivery reliability is always guaranteed. She has many years of professional experience in purchasing and fits seamlessly into our team.

Since May, Joanna Durawa has been reinforcing our order processing as a helpful caretaker and is intensively concerned with the daily needs of our customers. She has many years of professional experience in logistics and scheduling and is therefore able to process our customers' orders quickly and in a targeted manner.

With these two specialists, Cordial can react even faster to customer requests, ensures a better flow of goods and fast order processing as well as continued very reliable delivery ability.

I am very happy to have gained two such competent and nice colleagues for my team. The two of them have settled in excellently in their first few months and always ensure a good atmosphere among themselves.

- Martina Gottschalk, Head of Customer Service & Supply

Welcome to the Cordial Family!

EDITION 25 with silentPLUGs

Every guitarist knows the issue: when plugging in and unplugging, there is inevitably a loud crackling noise; the technician gets a crisis and fears for his equipment. Our popular EDITION 25 cables with high-quality textile jacket are now also available with a straight or right angled NEUTRIK silentPLUG, which prevents cracks when plugging them in. As usual, the high-quality textile material with a conductor area of 0.50 mm² (AWG 21) ensures perfect sound and visual signal transmission.

Sales team strengthened

Since March we have a new face in our sales team: Martin Hubner, born in Salzburg, studied sound technician and audio engineer, guitarist and hard rock fanatic, and most recently customer advisor at the former branch of JustMusic in Munich, from where his path led him directly to us.

Meanwhile, he can already decipher most of our product names (nobody can do them all anyway) and enriches our team enormously. His open and clear manner is enthusiastically received by many customers.

Cordial @ Night Of Light 2021 Review

The alliance #AlarmStageRed invited the reprise of its nationwide protest action on June 22: the "Night Of Light 2021". Again, event locations, cultural monuments, etc. were illuminated in red on June 22. Cordial also let its company building shine in red light at night.

Technically supported by the partners Veranstaltungstechnik Thomas Wild and CONRAD Licht & Rigging Support, Cordial set a sign of solidarity. For the support of the industry by politics and the public.

Cordial @ Night of Light 2021

The second part of the Night of Light will take place on 22.06.2021. The past year has posed enormous challenges for the event and culture business. Improvements are still only taking place in very small steps. The light at the end of the tunnel is not yet clear enough to be seen. Therefore, the "Night of Light" organizers have decided to launch the second part of the campaign across Europe. It is still important to set an example and to point out to the political decision-makers as well as to the public in general that not yet "everything is good again".

Cordial will also light up the company building in Dachau near Munich in red again. We see ourselves as part of the event industry and would like to express our solidarity with the badly hit companies and artists.

We are happy to welcome last year's partners Veranstaltungstechnik Thomas Wild and CONRAD Licht & Rigging Support back on board for the complete handling of the installation as well as for the provision of the lighting equipment.

The guys from ZSK have successfully stormed the album charts with their new record "Ende der Welt". In the CORDIAL Family Talk, Joshi explains the conditions under which it came about last year and how the year shaped the band.

Ronja Maltzahn about the Lockdown (DE)

Lockdown - actually the worst case for musicians. Cordial friend Ronja Maltzahn doesn't let times of crisis get in the way of her positive attitude; after all, she is a musical and organizational all-rounder. Her planned "living room or garden concerts" are a special point, which she pursues with enthusiasm. She also talks about the possibilities of state aid for artists in crisis or about crazy situations in the context of her current CD production. And one always senses when she tells: "just don't bury your head in the sand, it'll work out".

More power to the people!

Especially for particularly "stressful" times, Cordial has now added even more powerful ready made power cables to its portfolio. The flexible and reliable TITANEX® bulk cable with 3x 2.50 mm² conductor area can be loaded up to 20A without heat generation and minimizes voltage losses even over longer distances. The rubber cable made of polychloroprene is also oil-resistant and flame-retardant, ensuring high durability even in adverse weather conditions. The CFCA 25 cables are available with powerCON, powerCON TRUE1 TOP and Schuko in various lengths.

More space and more products

Every crisis is an opportunity. While others stuck their heads in the sand, Cordial made productive use of the turbulent year 2020 with all its cancelled events, postponed festivals and dropped events. We gave various products additional lengths that were in demand, expanded the portfolio in many parts with useful and better products, and celebrated our birthday at least a little bit with our anniversary series EDITION 25. We have also developed significantly internally: for example, we have become much more digital and better, whether through optimized processes or home offices. Our employees have formed a works council to get through the difficult times together and to shape our success as a team. And we firmly believe that every crisis will have an end: To make sure things get back on track soon, we have expanded our warehouse, creating significantly more storage space for even more products. This will allow us to significantly increase our overall stock levels, have space for further products (stay tuned!) and be ready for when the desire for festivals and concerts may also be satisfied again. We are looking forward to a strong 2021, which will definitely be better than this year.

DMX cable in even more lengths

Right now, many clubs, bars and concert halls are making the most of the so-called "lockdown light" in Germany and are optimizing their DMX-controlled light systems. To take this into account, Cordial is now expanding its range of ready-made DMX cables, so that the right length is available for every application. Both the 5-pin DMX cables CDX 1 and CDX 2 and the 3-pin control cable CPD FM are now available in lengths of 7.5 m and 15 m. This means that for every moving light, no matter how far away it is, there is a perfectly fitting DMX cable and the guests can finally come again.

Our essentials

3 popular microphone cables now also drummed

Compared to the use of loose cable material, the use of cable drums is particularly efficient when it comes to bridging longer signal paths on projects. Of course, this also comes into play in the field of audio engineering for microphone cables. Cordial offers now a good selection of drummed microphone cable products: CPM FM SD, CPM FM 234 SD and CRM FM-BLACK-SD facilitate the use when laying during events, transport and storage.

All 3 drums are available for cable lengths of 50 meters, 75 meters and 100 meters. They are wound on unbreakable SCHILL® quality drums with 2m side auxiluary spools with black NEUTRIK XLR plugs (and additional heat shrink tubes for individual labelling). Different features result in particular from the cable yard goods used in each case. The CPM FM SD is our all-rounder, while the CPM FM 234 SD offers a particularly high conductor area of 2x 0.34 mm² and the CRM FM-BLACK-SD protects the cable interior with a particularly robust jacket mixture. This means that there is a suitable product for almost every application, whether it is indoor (theaters, halls, halls, churches, ...) or in the context of open-air or drive-in cinema events.

In October 2020, Georg Withof, long-time product manager of the Dachau near Munich-based manufacturer of cables for the MI and event technology sector, took his well-deserved retirement.The new head of product management is the long-standing and proven product development professional Stefan Felbermeir.

He brings along 16 years of national and international experience as product and project manager as well as business development manager in the sports, leisure and automotive sector.

According to his own statement, his goal is to realize long-term competitive advantages based on his ample knowledge regarding products and practical application know-how combined with some innovative new ideas. In his opinion, this includes (hopefully possible again anytime soon) meeting customers face-to-face on site to take in their needs, requirements and suggestions: "Listening is the key word here. Only thus can fruitful product ideas be developed".

Music has accompanied the Bavarian, who lives near Augsburg, from childhood on. For many years he played in a brass orchestra and in various other ensembles. Today, he is very passionate about playing the "Styrian harmonica" to relax after a busy day and let the day fade away. Currently, he is accepting a new musical challenge, that is he started playing the guitar.

Francois Rousies (Cordial CEO): "We are pleased indeed to have found in Stefan Felbermeir a product management expert who is both very competent and enormously innovative in his field and who can continue the great product development achievements of recent years and even take them to the next level. In the first weeks of our collaboration so far, Stefan Felbermeir has completely confirmed the first positive impressions and met our expectations. His friendly and open-minded manner makes him the perfect match for the Cordial team. We wish him all the best here with us and look forward to working together with him".

CFIP RR: CORDIALS new patch cables

CORDIALS new patch cables feature particularly low profile plugs allowing optimally short cable runs between the effects units incorporated in the board as well as an excellent sound transmission.

With the market launch of its CFIP RR patch cable, Cordial meets the demand of musicians to accommodate as many effects units as possible in the pedal board without any unnecessary loss of space and without compromising on the quality of sound transmission between the units. This is due to the fact that CORDIAL uses low profile right-angled 6.3 mm pancake jack plugs, which are hand-soldered to the cable ends. When inserted, the plugs do not protrude more than 1 cm from the device socket. The utilized bulk cable has a diameter of only 6 mm, which also helps to save space.

The 0.22 mm² conductor cross section (AWG 24) and a twisted copper wires shielding (spiral wound screen) greatly contribute to a clean and undistorted signal transmission between the effects units. The diverse cable lengths of 15 cm, 30 cm and 60 cm allow individual connection options between distortion, reverb, wah-wah and similar devices.

New reeled CAT cables CSE HH 7-SD, CSE HH 5-SD and CSE HH 5-SD-PVC

By launching their new reeled data cables CSE HH 7-SD, CSE HH 5-SD and CSE HH 5-SD-PVC for long signal paths transmissions, CORDIAL complements its Ethernet cable portfolio.

Each of these products features HIROSE® RJ45 network connectors on both cable ends and robust clip-on protective covers effectively minimize the risk of physical damage. As with our established products which feature HIROSE® RJ45 network connectors and are encased in a NEUTRIK® protective metal housing (and further special variants), these novel products are supplied on the proven and particularly break-proof Schill GT 310 drums (with 2m of the cable wound on a lateral auxiliary spool).

Thanks to the diverse connector options and the general features and technical attributes of the utilized bulk cables each variant is based on, CORDIAL now provides a really comprehensive solution packet regarding data signal transmissions over longer distances for event technicians, technology rental companies and promoters.

As broadcasting from halls, lobbies, cinemas, theaters and churches has – due to the current situation – become more relevant than ever, this portfolio extension constitutes an important move regarding the expansion of our PRO product range.

As a supplement to the proven CPM FM microphone cable, Cordial can now offer you two further variants: the CPM FRMR with 2 right-angled XLR connectors and the CPM FRM with one straight and one right-angled female XLR connector. These angled connector variants are particularly suitable for space-saving rack cabling. As usual, all connectors come from the quality brand NEUTRIK® and feature a stylish black design. The cables are based on the legendary CMK 222 bulk cable, which excels in regards to its extremely high resilience, as well as by the fact that it is particularly easy to wind up and lay out without the risk of looping. The robust PVC jacket provides excellent protection against adverse external influences and the 0.22 mm² conductor area ensures the accustomed dynamic sound.

Partnership with Hal Leonard in North America

Cordial has entered into an exclusive distribution arrangement with US-based Hal Leonard’s MI Product Division. The announcement was made by François Rousies, Cordial CEO, and Brad Smith, VP of Hal Leonard MI division. Hal Leonard will be shipping orders in September.

Hal Leonard, headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is the world's largest publisher of music education materials / songbooks and a major distributor of music equipment and technology products around the world. The cooperation between Hal Leonard and Cordial only relates to their cooperation in North America.

“Cordial is a perfect fit for Hal Leonard,” says Smith. “Cables are part of every production. This fits with our mission to distribute items for every application and price point regardless of skill level. Retailers can get everything they need now from one source.”

“Cordial is passionate about its products and the Hal Leonard sales team has the same appreciation for quality and deep selection to serve every need,” adds Rousies. “They can take Cordial to resellers quickly, and our products are well positioned to complement all the other lines Hal Leonard offers, making premium cables a category now that will serve the dealers well. And their award-winning service fits perfectly with Cordial’s guiding business principle —integrity.”

On account of its 25th anniversary CORDIAL presents three new instrument and mic cables. The instrument cables CXI PP Edition 25 and CXI RP Edition 25 and the XLR cable CXM FM Edition 25 combine a quarter century of experience with trend-setting technology. Nice to look at due to their anthracite/copper-colored jacket and black/gold Neutrik® connectors. Nice to listen to as well due to their copper components, which are unequalled in the textile cable sector as to quantity and quality.

CPM FM: The original extended

The classic among the Cordial microphone cables has been expanded: The popular microphone cable CPM FM, based on the microphone bulk cable CMK 222, is now also available in the signal color orange. For longer distances, the CPM FM is now also available in 25m and 30m. And for those who need it even longer, Cordial has wound 50m, 75m or even 100m on proven SCHILL drums.

But of course the inner values have not changed: The conductor carea of 0.22 mm² ensures safe signal transmission in the studio, on stage or at home, the spiral shielding made of bare copper protects against external interference and the robust but flexible jacket ensures long durability and reliability.

The proven NEUTRIK XLR connectors in subtle black provide the ideal contrast to the colourful variety.

Cordial Range for live streaming and broadcasting

Since the culture-interested person cannot (or can only to a limited extent) attend events during the lockdown, the events are brought to him/her in the living room or, for example, at the drive-in cinema. There are many ideas and projects within the event industry - you don't let yourself get locked down. The key topics are live streams and broadcasts. Decisive for the success of broadcasting and live streaming is the best possible low-loss data transmission. Cordial is ready with a complete product range of copper Ethernet cables to support event technicians and event equipment rental companies for their productions. At times of the Corona retreat and, of course, beyond, when step-by-step, "normal" events continue.

Cordial presents Cat 6 standard data cables CSE HH 6 and CSE NN 6

As an important addition to its network cable portfolio, Cordial is launching these new ready-made network cables complying with the Cat 6 data standard onto the market: CSE HH 6 and CSE NN 6.

Based on the CCAT 6 Highflex bulk cable, both cable types are highly flexible and yet very robust. These products provide reliable and stable signal transmissions, especially for dealing with permanently moving objects and stage operations.

A special inner cable design (separate cross) and a specific SF/UTP shielding technology prevent unwanted effects like cross talk etc. This technology allows a higher bandwidth of 250 MHz. 

Our CSE HH 6 features a Cat 6 RJ 45 HIROSE® network connector, which is hand-assembled and provides a robust clip-on protective cover. The additional robust NEUTRIK® cable guard NE8MX-B-1 thoroughly protects the respective RJ45 power connectors.

These two Cat 6 cables are reliable multi-purpose tools, especially for open-air use.
 
Available lengths CSE HH 6 and CSE NN 6: 0.5m / 1m / 2.5m / 5m / 7.5m / 10m / 20m / 30m / 50m / 75m

The 50m and 75m length variants of our CSE HH6-SD and CSE NN 6-SD cables are reeled onto high-grade SCHILL® cable drums.

Time-saving ethernet cable solution

As a network cable solution for event technicians and rental companies, we offer our Quad-bulk cable CCAT 7A QUAD, correspondingly and appropriately combined with our CSE NN 7A QUAD-SD. 4 of our proven CCAT 7 Ethernet cables (Cat 7a) in PVC sheathing are incorporated in just one slim multicore cable.

This solution allows the space- and time-saving setup of four totally independent LAN networks or 4 separate control and media networks. 

This design features 2 NEUTRIK etherCON connectors (NE8MX6) and reeled onto a Schill sheet steel drum (2 meters of the cable on an auxiliary spool on the side of the drum).

Available lengths of the CSE NN 7A QUAD-SD: 50m, 75m

CSI PP ANDREW GOUCHE

Fueled by our mutual enthusiasm for high-quality instrument cables, the idea was born to develop a product geared to the wishes and standards of the "Godfather of Gospel Bass". So, CORDIAL proudly presents this exceptional cable for bass players and all musicians who appreciate out of the ordinary tools: CSI PP ANDREW GOUCHE

Cat.6 SF/UTP network cable

Sophisticated audio and lighting systems are depending more and more on digital data transmission, especially in the event sector. The advantages are quite obvious: Instead of having to lay out heavy and bulky multicore cables, only a light and thin cable will do the same job perfectly. The conversion of audio signals into data, though, also entails the risk of external interferences.

That is why CORDIAL has developed a new CAT 6 data cable (CCAT 6 Highflex), particularly suitable for mobile and varying applications and stages. Due to its special separator-cross design and a shielding combination of CU braided and foil shield, interference-free data transmissions of a bandwidth of up to 250 MHz and 55 meters distance are possible. Compared to Cat 5e cables, this results in a 2.5x faster data transmission. The CCAT 6A INST FRNC, on the other hand, is ideal for fixed installations and especially suited for stationary and static applications.

It is especially convenient that using CORDIAL’s DMX adapter allows you to combine 4 DMX lines in one data cable, thus really simplifying moving lights operations considerably. The CCAT 6 Highflex can be ordered reeled onto 100m and 500m drums (RRP plus VAT: 4.90 €/meter) and will soon also be available assembled with connectors.

The new product lines present the products even clearer and more meaningful. More about Cordial 3.0 and more about the new product lines. Discover more.

Ethernet goes PVC

Ethernet is now standard in many live and studio applications. In contrast to the CCAT 5, the CCAT 5 PVC uses polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath instead of a polyurethane sheath (PUR). This can save a lot of money, especially on longer distances, without having to fear significant losses in quality.

Like the PUR variant, the CCAT 5 PVC continues to be highly flexible, robust and can be easily drummed. Due to its robust shielding, it transmits all signals without interference.

The electrical characteristics correspond to the category Cat 5e and are therefore suitable for data transmissions with a bandwidth up to 100 MHz. Unlike traditional Ethernet cables, Cordial protects its Cat 5e cables with a tinned copper overall shield from outside interference. This makes it easy to lay Cordial CCAT 5 cables close to live components and cables.

Tobias Felbermayr, Head of Sales & Marketing at CORDIAL:
"With live applications in the outdoor area, in particular, more and more people are relying on easy-to-install data cables." With the CCAT 5 PVC, Cordial offers a cost-effective but high-quality version. "

The CCAT 5 PVC is packaged on 50m & 75m drums as CSE NN 5 SD-PVC with proven NEUTRIK etherCON plugs and as a meter from 100m.

Poland: Konsbud Audio celebrates 30 years

Konsbud Audio is sales partner of Cordial in Poland and was established in 1989 in Poland. For the first three years they distributed music instruments, and then in 1992-1993 they took up a challenge consisting in the importation and sale of pro audio equipment. It was then that Konsbud became the exclusive distributor of manufacturers such as Neutrik and Studer on the Polish market. 

Around 2000 an idea appeared to extend the offer of Konsbud Audio to include also the installation of electroacoustic systems. The Polish market needed companies that would be able to carry out complex implementation of the largest investment projects. To that end, a group of professionals, implementation specialists, designers, trainers and installation teams had to be gathered in one place. Today they have in their portfolio several dozens of completed installation projects in the most prestigious institutions in Poland. Apart from integration activities, they also co-operate with sales partners. Konsbud distributes over 20 brands of equipment dedicated for pro audio, broadcast and AV markets. 

This year Konsbud-Audio celebrates 30 years of its operation. Konsbud has been the exclusive distributor of Cordial in Poland since the very beginning of its existence (1995). This long relationship between those companies relies on similar hierarchy of values and ambitious goals and that both parties are satisfied from the co-operation. We hope that we will be able to grow together for the next 30 years.

CORDIAL is presently launching its high-end studio mic CSM FM GOLD 250 to provide the ultimate, the optimal tool for studio engineers, studio owners and musicians, ensuring the transmission of original studio mic signals without any loss of quality. To ensure the optimal true-to-life sound, we’ve focused on achieving minimal attenuation levels.
Decisive factors to reach this goal are the considerable 0.50mm2 conductor size of the utilized bulk cable CMK 250 and the high purity of the applied copper material. 

As customary for our products, the applied NEUTRIK XLR connectors are hand soldered and feature gold plated contacts, thus minimizing the risk of corrosion.

Due to transparent shrink-on tubes, each cable can be labeled individually and Velcro® straps simplify the neat and safe bundling of cables.

Available lengths 2.5m / 5m / 7.5m / 10m. For further information please click here

CORDIAL CSE HH 7A LONG-RUN-SD DATA CABLE DRUM

When it comes to music or event productions, NEUTRIK’s etherCON connector has basically become the approved standard for RJ45 connections because of its high mechanical resilience. Due to its special protective metal housing, though, it can’t be used with certain stage equipment.

Therefore, the South German cable manufacturer CORDIAL has extended its data cable range by a cable drum version featuring the universally usable CAT 6A RJ45 connector made by the renowned industrial brand Telegärtner. These high-class “Industrial Ethernet” connectors feature the same electrical properties as etherCON, but can be utilized in the tightest of spaces, e.g. can be connected to network switches suitable for business applications.

It is combined with CORDIAL bulk cable CCAT 7A LONG-RUN. The drum features four meters of the cable reeled onto an auxiliary spool on one drum side. As the icing of the cake, the Telegärtner RJ45 connector features a premounted protective cap.


Available lengths: 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 meters

CORDIAL MICROPHONE CABLE CPM FM 234

Based on the bulk cable CMK 234, introduced at the beginning of 2017, the South German cable manufacturer CORDIAL is now presenting the new CPM FM 234 mic cables.

Our objective in developing the CMK 234 bulk cables was to achieve the unfettered suitability for long cable runs combined with superb flexibility. This was realized by using a conductor cross-section of 0.34 mm2 and 26 strands, resulting in a low electric resistance.

Combined with the sturdy NEUTRIK-XLR NC3 FXX BAG, this cable version is now also available in cable lengths of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 20 metres.

Available lenghts: 
2.5m / 5m / 7.5m / 10m / 20m

Cordial CPI PZ Adapter Cables For Modular Synthesizers

Advocates of modular synthesizers very often do not use only one tone generator system because today a large variety of attractive models are available. Therefore, you need cables with varying connector sizes. Accordingly, CORDIAL has extended its adapter cable range by a mono version, the CPI PZ, equipped with hand soldered REAN 3.5mm and 6.3mm full metal connectors.

In contrast to the current customary cables featuring welded on plastic connectors, these connectors prevent interferences to the full extent. The unusually massive bulk cable CIK 122 also features an additional inner shield made of conductive plastic to minimize noise caused by electrostatic phenomena.


Available lengths:
1 / 2 / 3 metres
