Product Information

Full details

This 1m Kenable microphone cable is designed for musicians and audio professionals needing reliable signal transmission in live or studio environments. Its key benefit is excellent interference rejection thanks to its screening, ensuring clean audio. A potential caveat is its 1m length, which may be too short for some stage setups. This cable features robust, all-metal XLR connectors (male to female) with pure copper conductors and a tough, screened 6mm diameter cable for durability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'screened' mean for this cable?

A 'screened' cable has an additional layer of shielding, typically a braided wire mesh or foil, around the core conductors. This layer acts as a barrier to block electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from external sources like power cables or electronic equipment, resulting in a cleaner audio signal.

Are the XLR connectors durable?

Yes, this cable features all-metal, robust XLR connectors designed for reliability and frequent use in demanding environments like live performances.

What is the pin connection for this cable?

The pin connections are standard 1:1, meaning pin 1 on the male connector connects to pin 1 on the female connector, pin 2 to pin 2, and pin 3 to pin 3. This is standard for balanced mono audio signals.

Can this cable be used for stereo signals?

No, this is a two-core screened microphone cable designed for balanced mono signals. For stereo applications, you would typically need two separate mono cables or a specialized stereo cable.

What is the cable diameter?

The cable has a diameter of 6mm, providing a good balance between flexibility and durability.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information for the specific warranty period applicable to this product.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent audio

Check that both XLR connectors are fully seated in the input and output sockets. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Try the cable with a different microphone and audio device to isolate the issue.

Humming or buzzing noise

Ensure the cable's screening is properly connected and not damaged. Verify that other nearby electronic equipment or power cables are not causing excessive interference. Test with a different cable to confirm if the issue is with this cable or another component.

Crackling sound

Clean the XLR connectors on both the cable and the connected devices using a dry cloth. Check for any debris or corrosion on the pins. If the issue persists, the cable may have internal damage and require replacement.
