FAQs
What is the primary use for this cable?
This cable is primarily designed for connecting microphones to audio equipment such as mixers, audio interfaces, and PA systems in both live and studio environments.
What does 'screened' mean for this cable?
Screened means the cable has a protective layer (shielding) around the internal wires. This shielding is crucial for preventing electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (RFI) from affecting your audio signal, thus reducing hum and noise.
Is this cable suitable for speaker-level signals?
No, this cable is designed for microphone-level signals. It is not intended for carrying amplified speaker output.
What is the cable diameter?
The cable diameter is 6mm.
Can I use this cable for stereo signals?
No, this is a two-core (balanced mono) microphone cable, not designed for stereo audio transmission.
How do I connect it?
Connect the male XLR end to your microphone and the female XLR end to your mixer or audio interface. It's a simple plug-and-play connection.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information for details on the warranty period.
Troubleshooting
No sound or intermittent signal
Ensure both XLR connectors are fully seated in their respective ports. Check that the cable is not damaged. Test with a different known-good cable or microphone to isolate the issue.
Humming or buzzing noise
Verify that the cable is properly screened and not damaged. Ensure that connected equipment is properly grounded. Try moving the audio cable away from power cables or sources of electromagnetic interference.
Connector feels loose
Inspect the XLR connectors for any debris or damage. Ensure the locking mechanism on the female connector is functioning correctly. If damage is present, the cable may need replacement.
