Description
This QTX Essential microphone lead carries balanced audio signals between a female XLR and a male XLR connector. It measures 1.5m, which suits short runs between a microphone and a mixer, stage box or audio interface. The fully shielded design helps keep out interference, so your signal stays clean across the length of the cable.
The outer jacket is a soft-grip, rubberised material that resists tangles, making the lead easy to coil and store between uses. Inside, the connections are machine-soldered for consistency, and the die-cast XLR connectors lock into place so the cable stays put once plugged in. The two conductors are 20-strand at 0.1mm², with a cable diameter of 6.0mm.
XLR leads like this are a standard part of any live or studio setup, and having a few spares to hand is always sensible. This one works with dynamic and condenser microphones, as well as any balanced line-level gear that uses XLR connectors. If you need a reliable, everyday lead without paying over the odds, the Essential range covers the basics well.
