Description
This retro braided XLRF-XLRM microphone lead from Citronic gives you a reliable connection for any performance, whether that's home recording or live music on stage. The braided outer has a flexible, anti-tangle feel that makes coiling and storing the cable straightforward once you've finished. The braiding also adds a layer of protection, so the lead holds up well through regular use and transport.
Inside, the cable uses pure copper wire conductors to help keep signal interference down and pass a clean audio signal through your setup. It's fitted with three-pin XLR connectors at both ends, one male and one female, so you can link microphones to mixers, or extend an existing run. The pin-out follows the standard layout of 1-ground, 2-hot and 3-cold, which keeps it compatible with balanced audio gear. In the US this cable is often called a mic cord, but the connector and wiring are the same either way.
The cable measures 6.6mm in diameter and runs two conductors of 18 x 0.12mm strands each. It's available in four lengths, so you can pick the run that suits your stage or studio: 0.5m for short patching, 1.5m and 3m for most setups, and 6m when you need extra reach. The black braided finish keeps things low-key and blends in with the rest of your kit. Whether you're setting up a small home rig or a full live sound stage, this lead does a solid, dependable job.
