Description
The Citronic XF-XM150BK is a 1.5m balanced microphone lead (also called a cable in the US) with a female XLR to male XLR connection. It's built to carry balanced signals with clean sound and steady reliability, making it a solid choice for stage, studio and general audio use. The fully shielded design helps keep interference out, so your signal stays clear even in busy setups.
Inside, the lead uses pure copper conductors with cotton reinforcement for strength, wrapped in a soft-grip, rubberised jacket that resists tangling and coils away neatly. The connections are machine-soldered for consistency, and the male and female XLR connectors are professional die-cast units with a locking mechanism to hold them firmly in place. The cable measures 6mm in diameter, with 20 x 0.08mm conductors running through it.
The pin-out follows the standard balanced wiring: pin 1 to ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold. That means it works with any balanced XLR gear, from microphones through to mixers and active speakers. At 1.5m it's a handy length for short runs and patching between nearby equipment, and the black jacket keeps it low-key on stage or in the rack. It's a straightforward, well-made lead you can rely on job after job.
