Product Information
Full details
This kenable 007904 XLR microphone cable is designed for musicians and audio professionals seeking reliable signal transmission during live performances or studio recording. Its key benefit is the robust shielding that effectively prevents interference from external audio equipment and power sources, ensuring clean sound. A potential consideration is its fixed 10m length, which may be too long for some setups.

FAQs
What type of audio signals can this cable carry?
This cable is designed for balanced mono audio signals, commonly used for microphones.
Is this cable suitable for digital audio connections?
No, this cable is intended for analog audio signals and is not designed for digital audio transmission.
How do I clean the XLR connectors?
Gently wipe the connectors with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or solvents, which could damage the contacts.
What does 'two-core screened' mean?
It means the cable contains two insulated conductors (cores) plus a braided or foil shield around them. This shielding helps to block out electromagnetic interference, preventing hum and noise.
Can I use this cable for speaker output?
This cable is not designed for speaker-level signals, which require heavier gauge wiring. It is intended for microphone-level signals.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
Please refer to the retailer or kenable's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
No sound or intermittent audio
Check that both XLR connectors are fully seated in their respective sockets. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Test with a different known-good cable and microphone/device to isolate the issue.
Humming or buzzing noise
Ensure the cable's shielding is intact and not damaged. Verify that the audio equipment is properly grounded. Try using the cable in a different location to rule out electrical interference from power sources.
One channel of audio is missing (if using stereo, though this is a mono mic cable)
This cable is designed for mono signals. If experiencing issues with a specific setup, ensure your equipment is configured for mono input/output as appropriate.
