FAQs

What is the purpose of the cable's screening?

The screening acts as a shield to protect the audio signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) generated by nearby electronic equipment and power supplies, ensuring a cleaner audio output.

Are the XLR connectors balanced?

Yes, standard 3-pin XLR connectors are designed for balanced audio connections, which helps to further reduce noise over longer cable runs.

Can this cable be used for speaker connections?

No, this is a microphone cable designed for low-level audio signals. It is not suitable for carrying high-power speaker outputs, which require different types of connectors and cable gauges.

What does '1:1, 2:2, and 3:3' pin connection mean?

This refers to the standard wiring of an XLR connector where Pin 1 connects to Pin 1, Pin 2 to Pin 2, and Pin 3 to Pin 3 between the plug and socket, ensuring a direct and standard signal path.

How long is the cable?

The product description does not specify the cable length. Please refer to the product listing or packaging for specific length information.

Is this cable suitable for phantom power?

Yes, standard XLR cables like this one are designed to carry phantom power from a mixer or interface to condenser microphones without issue.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal received

Ensure both XLR connectors are fully seated in their respective ports. Check that the connected audio device is powered on and configured correctly. Test with a different microphone or audio interface to isolate the issue.

Humming or buzzing noise

Verify that the cable is properly screened and undamaged. Ensure all connected equipment is properly grounded. Move the cable away from potential sources of electrical interference, such as power cables or large electrical appliances.

Intermittent audio dropouts

Inspect the connectors for any debris or damage. Gently wiggle the connectors while plugged in to check for loose connections. If the issue persists, the cable may be internally damaged and require replacement.

  • Standard XLR configuration for broad compatibility.
  • Suitable for both live performance and studio use.

Cons

  • Fixed 3-pin XLR configuration may not suit all audio equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the female XLR end into your microphone and the male XLR end into your audio interface, mixer, or amplifier. Ensure a firm connection by pushing the connector fully in and engaging any locking mechanism.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring standard 3-pin XLR inputs and outputs, commonly found on microphones, PAs, mixing consoles, and audio interfaces. It adheres to the 1:1, 2:2, and 3:3 pin configuration.

Care: Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent internal wire damage. Avoid sharp bends or kinks. Clean connectors periodically with a dry cloth to ensure optimal conductivity. Protect the cable from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
