Product Information

Full details

The Kenable 3-meter instrument cable is designed for musicians, podcasters, and audio technicians who need a reliable connection for unbalanced microphone and line-level signals. It features high-quality pure copper conductors and durable nickel-plated connectors, making it an excellent choice for studio or stage setups. However, as it is designed for unbalanced transmission, users should be aware that it may be more susceptible to interference over very long distances compared to balanced cables.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this a balanced cable?

No, this cable is designed for unbalanced microphone and line-level signal transmission.

Can I use this to connect a condenser microphone requiring phantom power?

No, this cable is not suitable for phantom-powered microphones as it does not support balanced signal transmission.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 3 meters long.

Can I use this with an electric guitar?

While it has a 1/4 inch jack, it is intended for XLR-to-jack applications; ensure your source device has an XLR output.

Does it come with a warranty?

Please refer to the retailer's purchase documentation as Kenable products typically follow the standard statutory warranty for audio accessories.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent signal or crackling sounds

Check both ends to ensure they are fully seated. If the issue persists, inspect the connectors for debris or loose connections.

No sound output

Verify that your input device (microphone/instrument) is active and that your mixer or amplifier gain is turned up.

Excessive buzzing or hum

Since this is an unbalanced cable, ensure it is not running parallel to power cables, which can cause electromagnetic interference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable nickel-plated connectors
  • Flexible design for easy routing
  • Reliable signal transmission for unbalanced lines

Cons

  • Fixed 3-meter length may be too short for some large stage setups
  • Not suitable for balanced microphone applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the cable is simple thanks to the plug-and-play design. Simply insert the XLR male end into your microphone or audio device and the 6.35mm jack into your amplifier or interface port. Ensure both connectors are fully seated to prevent signal dropout.

Compatibility:

  • Input: Standard 3-pin XLR (Male)
  • Output: 6.35mm (1/4 inch) Mono Jack (Male)
  • Usage: Unbalanced microphone and line-level signals

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid pulling the cable by the wire; always grip the connector housing when unplugging.
  • Coil the cable loosely when storing to prevent internal stress on the conductors.
  • Keep connectors clean and dry; if you notice a decrease in signal quality, gently wipe the jack with a lint-free cloth.
