Frequently Asked Questions
What connectors does this cable have?
One end has an XLR female connector and the other has a 1/4-inch TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) male connector, making it suitable for connecting balanced audio gear with different jack types.
Is this a balanced or unbalanced cable?
This is a balanced cable. It carries the audio signal on two conductors plus a separate braided shield, which rejects electromagnetic interference and prevents ground loop hum.
What gauge wire does this cable use?
It uses 16AWG conductors, which is a heavier gauge than many comparable cables and contributes to low signal loss over the 10-foot length.
Can I use this cable for a microphone connection?
Yes, as long as your mixer or interface has a 1/4-inch TRS balanced input. The XLR female end connects to a standard microphone XLR output, and the balanced design preserves signal integrity.
Is the braided shield better than a foil shield for noise rejection?
Braided shields generally offer superior coverage and durability compared to foil, providing stronger protection against radio-frequency and electromagnetic interference — especially useful in stage environments with many potential noise sources.
