Cordial CTM 5 FM-BL

One thing I generally hate about cables is their flexibility; they?re either too rigid or too floppy. These are just right; they roll up nicely and are left nice and straight when laid out on the ground, perfect if you like to keep your cables neat and tidy during and after recording/playing.

The sound is as good as any other cable at even ten times the price and they last as long as you?re willing to look after them for and more. I use them for recording and gigs and I?ve found no issues with any of the ones I own (and I?ve owned them for about five years now).

The arrays of colour you can find them in can be helpful for those sessions with dozens of cables to help you keep track of which ones are which.

Excellent quality cables that are perfect for the anal studio owner or live sound engineer with no serious defaults at a fraction of the price you'd expect.

This cable delivers clean, noise-free signal transmission, thanks to its well-shielded internal design. There's no noticeable hum, buzz, or interference, even in more electrically dense environments. Whether used with microphones, DI boxes, or powered speakers, the signal integrity remains excellent across the full 5-meter length.

Color:
The blue (BL) color is not just cosmetic—it helps distinguish this cable from others in a cluttered live or studio environment, which can be a real time-saver during setup and teardown.

Value:
While slightly more expensive than entry-level options, the CTM 5 FM-BL offers professional-grade quality at a fair price. It’s a worthwhile investment for musicians, sound engineers, and event professionals who want long-lasting reliability and top-tier connectors.

Pros:
✔ Neutrik connectors
✔ Great shielding and signal clarity
✔ Rugged and reliable build
✔ Distinctive blue color for easy identification

Cons:
✖ Slightly pricier than basic cables (but justified by quality)
