Description
The Citronic XF-XM150RD is a 1.5m microphone lead (or cable, if you prefer the US term) with a female XLR at one end and a male XLR at the other. It carries balanced signals, which helps keep noise and interference low over the run, so it suits live vocals, studio work and general stage use. The red jacket makes it easy to pick out when you have several leads bundled together.
Build quality comes from pure copper conductors and cotton reinforcement, giving the cable good conductivity and strength through repeated coiling. The 6mm diameter jacket is rubberised, soft-grip and anti-tangle, so it lies flat and packs away without knotting. Connections are machine-soldered for consistency, and the die-cast XLR connectors lock into place to stop the lead pulling free during a set.
The cable uses 20 x 0.08mm conductors and is fully shielded to reject hum and radio interference. The pin-out follows the standard balanced layout: pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold, so it works straight away with standard microphones, mixers and stage boxes. At 1.5m it is a handy short length for close runs, patching between units or connecting a microphone that sits near the desk. If you need longer or shorter runs, the same lead is offered in other lengths across the range.

Frequently Asked
What length is this microphone lead?
It is 1.5m long, which suits short runs, patching between units or a microphone placed close to the mixer.
Does it carry a balanced signal?
Yes. It is wired for balanced use with pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold, which helps reject noise over the cable run.
What connectors does it use?
A female XLR at one end and a male XLR at the other, both die-cast with a locking mechanism to stop the lead pulling free.
Is the cable shielded?
Yes, it is fully shielded to reduce hum and radio interference, with pure copper conductors and cotton reinforcement.
Will it work with my microphone and mixer?
It uses the standard balanced XLR pin-out, so it works with standard microphones, mixers and stage boxes.
