Product Information

Full details

The kenable 007961 is a 0.5-meter red XLR microphone lead designed for audio professionals and musicians who require reliable, noise-free signal transmission in both studio and live settings. Featuring pure copper conductors and a screened design to block electromagnetic interference, it ensures high-fidelity sound, though the short 0.5-meter length limits its use primarily to rack gear or patch applications rather than long-distance stage setups.

FAQs

Can I use this cable for a microphone on a tall stand?

No, the 0.5-meter length is too short for most mic stand setups. It is intended for rack-to-rack or short-distance audio patching.

Is this a balanced cable?

Yes, as a two-core screened cable with 3-pin XLR connectors, it is designed for balanced audio transmission.

What is the diameter of the cable?

The cable has a diameter of 6mm, providing a robust yet flexible build.

Will this cable work with my home theater system?

It will work if your home theater components utilize 3-pin XLR connections, which are typically found on high-end professional or 'prosumer' audio equipment.

Does the cable require any special drivers?

No, this is a passive analog audio cable and is entirely plug and play.

Why is the cable red?

The red color is for aesthetic preference and can help you easily identify specific cable runs in complex, multi-cable audio setups.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal detected

Ensure the XLR locking pins are fully engaged and verify that the gain staging on your audio interface or mixer is set correctly.

Audible hum or interference

Check that the cable is not running parallel to power cables; if the issue persists, test the cable with a different channel to rule out hardware port issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality shielding reduces noise and interference
  • Sturdy all-metal connectors provide long-lasting durability
  • Pure copper conductors ensure consistent signal quality
  • Short length helps reduce cable clutter in compact setups

Cons

  • 0.5m length is too short for stage microphone placement
  • Fixed length restricts movement if used for handheld microphones
  • Limited to XLR-to-XLR applications only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This cable is designed for seamless operation. Simply align the pins of the male XLR connector with the holes of the female XLR socket and push firmly until the locking mechanism clicks.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all standard 3-pin XLR audio gear (microphones, mixers, speakers, interfaces).
  • Designed for balanced audio signals.

Care Instructions:

  • Always grasp the connector housing when unplugging, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
  • Avoid tight bending or coiling at sharp angles to maintain internal wire integrity.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent oxidation of the metal connectors.
