FAQs
What type of audio signal does this cable carry?
This cable is designed for analog audio signals and is commonly used for microphones and line-level audio.
Is this cable suitable for digital audio, like AES/EBU?
No, this cable is designed for analog audio. For digital audio signals like AES/EBU, you would typically require a different type of cable with specific impedance characteristics.
Can I use this cable to connect two microphones together?
No, this cable is an extension cable. It has one male XLR connector and one female XLR connector, designed to connect a microphone (or other source) to an input (like a mixer).
What is the gauge of the wire inside the cable?
Specific wire gauge information is not provided, but it is a 2 Core Screened cable designed for standard audio applications.
Does the female end have a locking mechanism?
This cable features standard XLR connectors without a specific locking mechanism. Ensure a firm connection is made during use.
How should I store this cable to prevent damage?
Store the cable loosely coiled, avoiding sharp bends or kinks. Keep it in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
No audio signal is passing through the cable.
Ensure both the male and female XLR connectors are fully and securely plugged into their respective devices. Check that the audio source and destination devices are powered on and configured correctly. Test the cable with different audio devices to rule out device-specific issues.
Humming or buzzing noise is present in the audio.
Verify that the cable is properly seated at both ends. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to power cables, which can cause interference. Try connecting the cable in a different location to see if ambient electrical noise is the cause. The cable's screening helps minimize this, but severe interference sources may still cause issues.
Intermittent audio dropouts.
Inspect the connectors for any dirt or damage. Gently wiggle the connectors while audio is playing to check for loose connections. If the issue persists, the cable may be damaged internally and may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the Kenable 002448 cable, simply plug the 3-pin XLR male connector into your audio source (e.g., microphone, instrument) and the 3-pin XLR female socket into your destination (e.g., mixer, amplifier, audio interface). Ensure both connectors are fully seated for a secure connection.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all standard 3-pin XLR devices, including microphones, mixers, audio interfaces, speakers, and effects processors. It is designed for analog audio signals.
Care: To maintain the cable's performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or kinks. Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use. Clean connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to ensure optimal conductivity. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
