thats not a good choice for mic cables.   That is a single conductor.   You would have to twist a pair and add a shield.   It's not bad wire, just not the right configuration for mic cables.

You want 2 or 4 twisted conductors already covered by a woven shield.

Something like this: http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=74316.0 or you can find some on ebay also.
