I’m connecting some RCAs to a circuit input and I have run out of Belden 8450. I do have some Mogami W2549 which is said to be microphone signal cable. It’s 22 ga., like the Belden and has a copper mesh shield. Will this work as input wire? I could not find the complete specs on the product, but the resistance is stated as .018 ohms/ ft. Thanks for any help on this.

The Belden will stay where you put it since it's solid core wire, while the Mogami will need some external assistance to stay put.  I doubt you'll notice much of a difference other than that.
