Description
This Citronic audio lead gives you two balanced XLR connections in a single cable, running from 2 x female XLR to 2 x male XLR over a length of 1.5 metres. It is built for pro use, with die-cast XLR connectors at each end and machine-soldered connections that hold up to regular plugging and unplugging. We think of it as a reliable workhorse for stage, studio and installation setups where you need to link two channels at once.
The cable itself is a twinned high-grade design, measuring 5mm in diameter across each core (5 x 10mm overall). Inside you get pure copper conductors, each made from 12 strands at 0.1mm, with cotton reinforcement for extra strength. The outer jacket is a soft-grip, rubberised, anti-tangle finish, so the lead sits flat and stays out of your way during setup and pack-down. Shielding across the run helps keep interference out and keeps your signal clean.
The pin-out follows the standard balanced wiring: pin 1 to ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold. That makes it a straight fit for mixers, powered speakers, active DI boxes and other balanced gear. Running two links in one lead cuts down on cable clutter and speeds up patching when you are working with stereo sources or paired inputs. If you want dependable connections without fuss, this is a solid choice for both fixed installs and mobile rigs.
