Default (Shielded) Mic/Line Cable With Lowest Shunt Capacitance?

How low does it go?



** You can eliminate its effect entirely by loading the far end with the characteristic impedance of the cable.

Try a 0.22uF cap in series with 100 ohms for starters.


Which is not the best idea if it's being fed by a guitar pickup, which
expects a load of many kilohms or a high impedance mic such as those
used on some acoustic guitars.

If the OP told us what the application was, then we'd have a better idea
what to recommend.
