Troubleshooting
No audio signal or intermittent signal
Ensure both XLR connectors are fully seated and have clicked into place. Check that the other end of the cable is connected to the correct input on your audio equipment. Inspect the cable and connectors for any visible damage. Test with a different XLR cable and microphone to isolate the issue.
Humming or buzzing noise
Verify that the cable is properly grounded. Ensure you are not running the XLR cable parallel to power cables. Try connecting to a different power outlet or using a power conditioner. Test with a different XLR cable to rule out the cable as the source of the interference.
Connector is difficult to plug in or remove
Check for any bent pins inside the XLR connector or debris obstructing the connection. Ensure you are using the correct gender XLR connectors. Do not force the connection; if resistance is met, re-align and try again gently.
