Product Information

Full details

This kenable 004542 XLR microphone cable is designed for musicians and audio professionals seeking reliable signal transmission in live or studio environments. Its key benefit is the two-core screening that significantly reduces interference from nearby audio equipment or power supplies, ensuring a clean signal. A potential caveat is its 0.75m length, which may be too short for some stage setups. The cable features a male to female 3-pin XLR connection, a durable 6mm diameter, and pure copper conductors.

FAQs

What is the purpose of the two-core screening?

The two-core screening acts as a shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), preventing unwanted noise like hum and buzz from being picked up by the audio signal.

Can I use this cable for connecting speakers?

This cable is designed as a microphone cable. While XLR connectors are used for both microphones and some line-level audio signals, it is not typically rated or intended for speaker-level outputs, which often require different types of connectors or higher-gauge cables.

What does 'pure copper conductors' mean for audio quality?

Pure copper offers excellent electrical conductivity, which translates to a cleaner and more robust audio signal with less signal loss over the length of the cable compared to cheaper alloys.

Is this cable suitable for professional studio recording?

Yes, the screened design and pure copper conductors make it suitable for many studio applications, especially for connecting microphones where clean signal transmission is crucial. Its durability also lends itself to regular studio use.

How do I know if the cable is properly connected?

You should feel and hear a distinct 'click' when the XLR connector is fully inserted into its socket, indicating a secure and proper connection. Ensure there is no excessive force needed during connection or disconnection.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Information regarding warranty is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official website for specific warranty information.

Can I extend the cable length with an adapter?

You can connect another XLR cable to the female end of this cable to extend the total length. However, using excessively long cable runs or multiple adapters can potentially degrade signal quality or increase the chance of interference.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal detected

Check that both male and female XLR connectors are fully and securely plugged into the respective devices. Verify that the input channel on your mixer or interface is active and correctly routed. Test the cable with a different microphone and audio device to isolate the issue.

Humming or buzzing sound

Ensure the cable's screening is intact and that the connectors are clean. Try moving the cable away from power cables or other sources of electromagnetic interference. Confirm that your audio equipment is properly grounded.

Intermittent signal or crackling

Inspect the cable for any visible damage, such as cuts or worn insulation. Ensure the connectors are free from debris. If the issue persists, the cable may need to be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective interference reduction due to two-core screening.
  • Built with pure copper conductors for optimal signal quality.
  • Robust construction suitable for demanding environments.
  • Universal compatibility with standard XLR audio equipment.
  • Compact 0.75m length for organized setups.

Cons

  • The 0.75m length may be restrictive for certain applications requiring longer cable runs.
  • Only includes one cable, requiring purchase of multiples for multi-microphone setups.
  • Basic connector design, may lack premium features found in higher-end cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To set up the kenable 004542 XLR microphone cable, simply plug the male XLR connector into the microphone and the female XLR connector into your audio device, such as a mixer, audio interface, or speaker. Ensure a firm click when connecting to confirm a secure fit.

Compatibility:

This cable is compatible with all standard 3-pin XLR microphones and audio equipment. The male XLR (3-pin) straight connector is designed to fit into female XLR sockets, and vice-versa. It adheres to the standard 1:1 pin connection, ensuring broad compatibility across most audio gear.

Care:

To maintain the cable's performance and longevity:

  1. Storage: Store the cable loosely coiled, avoiding sharp bends or kinks. Use a Velcro strap or cable tie for neat storage.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the connectors and cable with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Handling: When disconnecting, pull by the connector housing, not by the cable itself. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
