I think you mean skin effect, which is the tendancy for signal to migrate toward the outside of the conductor as the frequency increases.

For microphone cables, this is a non-issue throughout the audio spectrum. It could become a bit of a concern at the upper most audio frequencies in speaker cables if they are large enough guage and long enough.

All wire exhibits this behavior.
