Is this an oxymoron?

High end - unbalanced mic?

You mean a single core screened cable? That wouldn't normally be sold
as a microphone cable.

For line level signals in a hi-fi system, you don't need to be too
fussy. Certainly it's silly to choose cable too thick to easily
interface with a phono plug.

Or are you trying to make something that will impress audiophool
customers? They seem to like cables with transparent outer sheath,
displaying the shielding braid. Does your supplier offer anything
like that?

Generally unbalanced mics aren't high quality so nobody really makes
high quality cables for them. What are you really connecting to what,
and what's your goal?

Nope.

Very high quality mics haven't used unbalanced cable for several decades.

If you want *Audiophile* as in "an Audiophile and his money...", just go
get some of the M****er stuff with the arrows on it.
