Product Information

Full details

The Cables Direct 6M XLR Cable is designed for audio professionals, studio engineers, and live performers who require a reliable, interference-free connection between microphones and mixing consoles. Its key benefit is the combination of high-grade copper cores and 80% shielding, which ensures clean signal transmission; however, users should note that at 6 meters, cable management is required to prevent tripping hazards in high-traffic performance areas.

FAQs

Is this cable balanced?

Yes, this is a standard 3-pin balanced XLR cable, which is the industry standard for reducing noise over distance.

Can I use this for phantom power?

Yes, the high-quality copper wiring is fully capable of carrying 48V phantom power to condenser microphones.

What is the benefit of the gold-plated pins?

Gold plating provides superior resistance to oxidation and corrosion, ensuring long-term connectivity reliability compared to standard nickel pins.

Is 6 meters the total length?

Yes, this specific model (MPN: 2XLR-SV060) is exactly 6 meters in length.

How should I clean the connectors?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the pins. Avoid using chemical cleaners or liquids inside the connector housing.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent audio signal

Check that the XLR locking mechanism is fully engaged and inspect both male and female connectors for bent pins or debris.

Audible hum or buzz

Ensure the cable is not running parallel to power cables, as this can induce interference. Test the microphone with a different cable to isolate the issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent signal purity due to high-density shielding
  • Gold-plated contacts prevent oxidation
  • Robust build quality suitable for touring
  • Professional silver aesthetic

Cons

  • Silver finish may show scuffs more than black variants
  • 6-meter length requires proper storage to prevent tangling
  • Not intended for non-balanced audio connections

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply align the three pins of the male end with the corresponding holes on your audio device and press until the locking mechanism clicks. To disconnect, press the release tab before pulling. For compatibility, this cable works with any balanced XLR device. To care for your cable, always coil it using the "over-under" method to prevent internal wire twists and store it in a dry environment away from extreme heat.
