Description
This Citronic XF-XM600BK is a 6 metre microphone lead 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 longer runs, so it works well for stage, studio and general audio use. The cable is fully shielded and built to hold up to regular handling.
The lead uses pure copper conductors with cotton reinforcement inside a soft-grip, rubberised jacket that resists tangling. Each connection is machine-soldered for consistency, and the die-cast XLR connectors have a locking mechanism so the cable stays put once it is plugged in. The 6mm cable diameter gives it enough weight to sit still on the floor without being stiff to coil.
Wiring follows the standard balanced pin-out: pin 1 to ground, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold, so it pairs correctly with dynamic and condenser microphones as well as balanced line-level gear. In the US you may hear this called a mic cable or cord rather than a lead, but it is the same thing. If you need a straightforward, reliable connection between a microphone and a mixer, PA or interface, this covers it.

Frequently Asked
How long is this microphone lead?
It is 6 metres long, with a female XLR at one end and a male XLR at the other.
Is the cable balanced?
Yes. It carries balanced signals using a standard pin-out of 1-ground, 2-hot and 3-cold, which helps reduce noise over longer cable runs.
What are the connectors made from?
The XLR connectors are die-cast with a locking mechanism, and the connections are machine-soldered.
What is inside the cable?
Pure copper conductors with cotton reinforcement, fully shielded, inside a soft-grip rubberised jacket that resists tangling.
Will it work with condenser microphones?
Yes. The balanced XLR wiring suits both dynamic and condenser microphones, as well as balanced line-level equipment.
What is the cable diameter?
The cable measures 6mm in diameter, giving it enough weight to stay put while remaining easy to coil.
