Product Information

Full details

This 2-meter black Kenable XLR microphone cable is designed for musicians and audio professionals seeking reliable signal transmission during live or studio performances. Its key benefit is the two-core screening, which effectively prevents interference from nearby equipment. A potential caveat is its fixed 2m length, which may not suit all setups. The cable features robust all-metal ends, pure copper conductors, and standard 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female).

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the screened design?

The two-core screening significantly reduces interference from external electrical noise, such as hum from power supplies or radio frequency interference, ensuring a cleaner audio signal.

Is this cable suitable for connecting speakers?

While it has XLR connectors, this cable is primarily designed for microphone-level signals. For speaker-level signals, a different type of cable (e.g., Speakon or a heavier gauge XLR cable intended for power) is usually required.

What does 'Pins connections: 1:1 2:2 and 3:3' mean?

This indicates a standard 'straight' wiring configuration for XLR cables, where pin 1 connects to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, and pin 3 to pin 3. This is the most common wiring for microphone signals.

Can I use this cable for stereo signals?

No, this is a mono microphone cable with two conductors. Stereo signals typically require a different type of cable or two separate mono cables.

What is the cable diameter?

The cable diameter is 6mm.

How durable are the connectors?

The connectors are described as 'All Metal Robust ends', designed for reliability and to withstand frequent use in demanding environments.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal or intermittent signal.

Check that both XLR connectors are fully inserted and locked. Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Test with a different microphone or input device to isolate the issue.

Humming or buzzing sound.

Ensure the cable's screening is functioning by testing in a different location away from potential interference sources (power supplies, fluorescent lights). Verify that all connected equipment is properly grounded.

Connector feels loose or difficult to connect.

Gently inspect the connector pins and housing for any debris or damage. Do not force the connection. If damage is suspected, the cable may need replacement.
