Product Information

Full details

The Cables Direct 2XLR-SV030 is a 3-metre professional-grade audio cable designed for musicians, podcasters, and studio technicians who require reliable signal integrity between microphones and mixing desks. It features high-quality gold-plated pins and robust shielding to ensure clear, interference-free sound transmission. While its 3-metre length is perfect for desktop setups or small recording booths, it may be too short for larger stage performances or complex multi-room cable runs.

FAQs

Is this cable balanced?

Yes, as a 3-pin XLR cable, it is designed for balanced audio transmission, which helps reject external noise.

Can I use this for phantom power?

Yes, the 3-pin XLR configuration is fully compatible with 48V phantom power required for professional condenser microphones.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, it features 80% shielding coverage to help prevent signal interference.

What is the connector plating material?

The pins are gold-plated for superior conductivity, while the outer hoods are finished in silver for durability.

Can I connect two of these cables together to make a longer one?

While you can technically daisy-chain XLR cables, it is generally recommended to use a single cable of the correct length to minimize connection points and potential signal loss.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent audio or crackling sounds

Check that both connectors are fully inserted and locked. Inspect the pins for debris and ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp angle at the connector head.

Hum or persistent buzz in the signal

Ensure the cable is not running parallel to unshielded power cables for long distances. If the issue persists, test the signal chain with a different XLR input.

No signal received

Verify that your phantom power (if using a condenser mic) is switched on and that the microphone or preamp is powered correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality gold-plated connectors for stable conductivity
  • 80% shielding effectively minimizes background hum and interference
  • Sturdy construction with durable silver hoods
  • Reliable signal transmission for professional audio applications

Cons

  • Fixed 3-metre length may limit reach in larger spaces
  • Not intended for long-distance cable runs where signal loss could occur
  • Lacks advanced strain relief found in ultra-premium touring cables

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Connecting your equipment is straightforward: simply insert the male 3-pin XLR connector into your microphone or source output, and the female 3-pin XLR connector into your mixing desk or audio interface input.

Care Instructions:

  • Coil properly: Use the "over-under" coiling method to prevent internal wire stress and kinking.
  • Avoid crushing: Do not place heavy equipment on top of the cable, as this can compromise the shielding.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the connector pins periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to ensure they remain free of dust or oils that could impede connection quality.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the cable jacket.
