Full details
The RØDE XLR3M-B is a 3-meter blue XLR cable designed for connecting microphones and other audio equipment. It offers exceptionally low noise for pristine signal transmission, built with professional-grade Canare cabling and Neutrik connectors for durability and reliability.

Audible hum or noise in the audio.
