Key Features
An XLR to RCA cable converts a balanced audio signal into an unbalanced signal.
This is good for sending audio signals from an XLR source to an RCA input, or vice versa. Regardless of direction, the result will be an unbalanced signal.
The cable is made with two 16 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors, in a twisted-pair arrangement, and is shielded along the full length with copper braid with 97.5% coverage.
This cable uses the standard pinout with pins 1 and 3 of the XLR connector wired to the shield of the RCA plug and pin 2 of the XLR connector wired to the tip of the RCA plug.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Efficiently converts a balanced XLR audio signal to an unbalanced RCA signal, or functions in reverse.
- Constructed with two 16 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper conductors, designed for clean and uninterrupted audio transmission.
- Utilizes a twisted-pair arrangement for conductors, effectively minimizing potential electromagnetic interference.
- Features comprehensive shielding along its full length with a copper braid offering 97.5% coverage, reducing noise.
- Follows a standard pinout configuration (XLR pins 1 & 3 to RCA shield, pin 2 to RCA tip) for consistent connectivity.
- Provides a practical solution for integrating devices with differing professional and consumer audio connections.
👎 Cons
- The inherent nature of the cable is to convert to an unbalanced signal, which means it loses the noise-rejection benefits of a balanced connection.
- At 3 feet, the cable is relatively short and may not be suitable for connecting equipment that is far apart.
- Limited to XLR to RCA conversion, so it cannot be used for other common audio connections like ¼" or 3.5mm.
- Despite good shielding, unbalanced connections are generally more prone to picking up interference over longer distances than balanced ones.
- Requires careful consideration of signal flow and impedance matching when connecting different types of audio devices.
