Why Are Mogami Cables So Expensive? (And How To Get the Same Quality for Less)

If you've ever walked into a music store and checked the price tag on a Mogami instrument or mic cable, you probably did a double take. They're not cheap, and for good reason. Mogami has earned their place as the recording studio standard by offering some of the quietest, most robust audio cables in the business.

But here's the thing: a lot of what you're paying for isn’t just the cable.

 

What You're Really Paying for

When you buy a Mogami cable from a retail store, you’re not just paying for the high-quality cable and connectors. You’re also covering:

• Branding and marketing
• International freight and import fees
• Distributor’s margin
• Warehouse and storage costs
• Retail markup
• Sales rep commissions
• In-store display and shelving fees

There’s many people involved at each step and everyone needs to take their cut. This all adds up fast.

So... What If You Could Get the Same Quality for Less?
