Description
This 0.5m Citronic microphone lead connects a female XLR to a male XLR, ready to carry balanced audio signals with good clarity and reliable performance. The short length suits close patching between mixers, stage boxes, patch bays and other rack gear where a longer cable would only get in the way. It is fully shielded to help keep interference out of your signal path.
The lead is built with pure copper conductors and cotton reinforcement, so it stands up well to regular handling on stage and in the studio. The rubberised jacket has a soft-grip, anti-tangle finish that makes coiling and storing straightforward. Connections are machine-soldered for consistency, and the professional die-cast XLR connectors lock into place to stop the cable pulling free during a performance.
The cable measures 6mm in diameter and uses 20 x 0.08mm conductors. Wiring follows the standard balanced pin-out, with pin 1 as ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold, so it works with any balanced XLR equipment you already own. In the UK this is usually called a microphone lead, while in the US it is more often referred to as a microphone cable, but the two mean the same thing. If you need a tidy, dependable short link for your setup, this is a sensible choice.
