FAQs

What type of microphone is this cable suitable for?

This cable is suitable for most types of microphones that use a standard 3-pin XLR connection, including dynamic and condenser microphones.

Can this cable be used for stereo signals?

No, this is a standard mono microphone cable designed for single-channel audio signals. It is not suitable for stereo connections.

What does 'screened' mean in the cable description?

'Screened' refers to the shielding around the internal conductors, which helps to block electromagnetic interference from external sources, leading to a cleaner audio signal.

Is this cable suitable for DMX lighting control?

While it uses XLR connectors, this cable is designed for audio signals. DMX lighting control uses a different pinout and signal protocol and may not be compatible or reliable with this audio cable.

How long is the warranty for this cable?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for this product, as warranty information can vary.

Can I connect two microphones together with this cable?

No, this cable is designed to connect one microphone to one audio input device. It cannot be used to link two microphones together.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal is being received.

Ensure the cable is fully plugged into both the microphone and the audio device. Check that the correct input on the audio device is selected and that the device is powered on and its volume is up. Test with a different cable or microphone to isolate the issue.

Audible hum or interference is present.

Verify that the cable's screening is intact and that it's not damaged. Ensure the cable is routed away from power cables or high-power electrical equipment. Try a different cable to see if the interference persists. Ensure the equipment connected is properly grounded.

Crackling or intermittent audio.

Check the XLR connectors for dirt or damage. Gently clean the connector pins. Ensure the cable is not being stepped on or excessively stressed, as this can damage internal connections.
