This 2-meter yellow Kenable XLR microphone cable is designed for musicians and audio professionals seeking reliable signal transmission for live or studio performances. Its key benefit is interference prevention thanks to its two-core screened construction, ensuring clean audio. A potential caveat is its 2-meter length, which may be too short for some larger setups. This cable connects microphones to mixing desks, patch bays, or power amps using its male and female 3-pin XLR connectors.

The screening acts as a shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from external sources like power supplies, stage lighting, and other electronic equipment, ensuring a cleaner audio signal.
No, this cable is designed for microphone-level signals and general line-level audio patching. It is not intended or rated for speaker-level outputs, which require different types of cables (e.g., Speakon or 1/4" TS/TRS for passive speakers).
The female connector has holes and typically receives the signal (like on a microphone), while the male connector has pins and typically sends the signal (like on a mixer input). They are designed to connect to each other.
While XLR connectors can be used for digital audio, this specific cable is constructed primarily for analog audio and may not meet the strict impedance and shielding requirements for all digital audio formats like AES/EBU. It is best suited for analog microphone signals.
Ensure the cable is disconnected. Use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the metal parts of the connector. If there is significant residue, use a specialized electronic contact cleaner sparingly and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
This refers to the standard wiring for analog audio over XLR. Pin 1 is ground/shield, Pin 2 is the positive ('hot') signal, and Pin 3 is the negative ('cold') signal. A 1:1 connection ensures that Pin 1 on the male connector connects to Pin 1 on the female connector, and so on for Pins 2 and 3.
Ensure both XLR connectors are fully seated. Check that the microphone and audio device are powered on and configured correctly. Try using a different XLR cable to isolate the issue. Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible damage.
Verify that the cable's shielding is intact. Ensure all audio equipment is properly grounded. Try connecting the cable to a different power outlet or circuit. Test with another microphone or audio device to rule out equipment issues.
Gently check the locking mechanism on the XLR connectors. If damaged, the cable may need replacement. Ensure you are using standard 3-pin XLR connectors, as incompatible or damaged connectors can prevent a secure connection.
Setup: Simply connect the female 3-pin XLR end to your microphone and the male 3-pin XLR end to your audio device, such as a mixing console, audio interface, or amplifier. Ensure a firm click upon insertion.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a 3-pin XLR input or output. It is commonly used for connecting microphones, but can also be used for line-level signals in specific audio routing scenarios (e.g., connecting processors in effects loops).
Care: To maintain optimal performance, avoid excessively bending or kinking the cable. Store it loosely coiled when not in use. Clean the connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth. If connectors become dirty, a contact cleaner specifically designed for electronics can be used sparingly, ensuring the cable is disconnected from all equipment.
