Stay tuned

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.

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 and Sophie Chassée at their workshops.

We continue to grow. Especially in the music and audio industry, which is currently shaken by supply bottlenecks, raw material problems and general uncertainty, a long-term strategy in purchasing is worth its weight in gold. Therefore, Cordial is looking for an additional employee in purchasing (m/f/d) for the Dachau location near Munich to start as soon as possible.

Therefore, we have upgraded all our speaker cables with mono jack from NP2C to NP2X - at the same price and the same quality.

On Sound & Recording's Studiosofa podcast, the most exciting studio owners have their say every week and present their equipment, workflow and tips and tricks. In this episode, long-time Cordial partner Toni Loitsch presents his Nautilus Studio, where he follows a hybrid studio concept - wired with CORDIAL, of course.

Everything wet and rusty? Drummer Dirk Brand had to rewire his entire rehearsal room and studio after water damage - partly because he had relied on cheap cables. Here he explains what he thinks matters and what golden plugs have to do with it.

Language: German (English subtitles available).

Music: "The Page" written by Chris Vega, played by: Chris Vega (Git & Vocals), Tim Rashid (Bass), Edin Colic (Git), Steffi Barth (Backing Vocals), Dirk Brand (Drums)

... 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

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.

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.
