Description
This is our QTX Essential microphone lead, built to carry balanced audio signals between XLR female and XLR male connections. It suits standard studio and stage setups where you need a reliable link between a microphone and a mixer, preamp or interface. The lead is fully shielded, which helps keep unwanted noise and interference out of the signal path.
The jacket is a soft-grip, rubberised material that resists tangling, so the cable coils neatly and stays easy to handle during setup and pack-down. The connections are machine-soldered for consistency, and both ends use professional die-cast XLR connectors with a locking mechanism to hold them firmly in place. The male end plugs into your mixer or interface, while the female end connects to your microphone.
Inside, the cable measures 6.0mm in diameter and uses two conductors, each made from 20 strands at 0.1mm². This construction gives the lead enough flex for regular use without feeling flimsy. At 6.0m long, it covers a useful distance for most live and recording work. If you are new to the terms, an XLR lead is sometimes called a mic cable or a balanced audio cable, and all three refer to the same thing here.
