It carries balanced signals, which keeps interference and noise down over longer cable runs. The pin-out follows the usual balanced wiring: pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold. The cable is fully shielded, which is a big part of why it stays clean and reliable when you're working on stage or in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe build uses pure copper conductors, with 20 strands at 0.08mm each, sitting inside a 6mm cable. There's cotton reinforcement running through it and a soft-grip, rubberised jacket that resists tangling, so it coils up and packs away without fuss. Connections are machine-soldered for consistency, and the connectors themselves are professional die-cast XLRs with a locking latch on the female end to hold the plug in place. In the US you'll see leads like this called cords or cables, but it's the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed makes it easy to colour-code your rig, whether that's marking a particular mic, monitor feed or input channel. At 3 metres it gives you enough reach for most vocal and instrument positions without leaving too much slack on the floor. If you run several microphones, having a set in different colours saves a lot of guesswork during setup and teardown. This is a straightforward, well-made lead built to hold up to regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable : diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 0.08mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMale XLR, Female XLR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePin-out\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced: 1-Ground, 2-Hot, 3-Cold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat length is this microphone lead?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt measures 3.0 metres from the female XLR to the male XLR connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the cable balanced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
