PD-Connex CX35-1 - 1.5 meter Balanced Signal Cable XLR Male to XLR Female
The PD-Connex CX35-1 is a high-quality balanced signal cable designed to ensure reliable, interference-free audio transmission in any professional or home environment. Measuring 1.5 meters in length, this cable features male XLR connectors on one end and female XLR connectors on the other, establishing a secure and robust connection standard for a wide range of audio equipment. Its flexible and durable construction, along with effective shielding, makes it an essential tool for musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts seeking maximum clarity and purity in their signal.
This cable has been manufactured to minimize noise and electromagnetic interference. Thanks to its balanced design, the audio signal is transmitted through two conductors with reversed polarity, effectively canceling any hum or noise picked up along the cable. Individual shielding reinforces this protection, ensuring the original signal remains intact from source to destination. The high-quality metal connectors not only provide a solid and stable connection but also offer superior resistance to wear from continuous use, outlasting plastic alternatives.
Main features
-
Balanced Connection: Equipped with 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) that ensure balanced signal transmission for superior, noise-free audio quality.
-
Effective Shielding: The cable has an individual low-noise shield (64x0.12mm) that protects the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
-
Robust Metal Connectors: The connectors are made of high-quality metal to ensure a secure, durable connection that is resistant to heavy use.
-
Flexible Construction: Despite its robustness, the cable maintains excellent flexibility thanks to its 6 mm outer sheath, facilitating its handling and installation in confined spaces or complex configurations.
-
Optimal Length: Its 1.5 meters in length offer a perfect balance between reach and manageability, avoiding the clutter of excessively long cables or the limitations of shorter ones.

- Used in home and professional recording studios to ensure a clean signal.
- Live sound (PA) systems for concerts, conferences and events.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a balanced cable and why is it important?
A balanced cable, such as XLR, uses three conductors to transmit the audio signal. Two of them carry the same signal but with opposite polarity, and the third is the ground. This allows the receiving equipment to identify and eliminate any noise picked up equally on both signal conductors, resulting in a much cleaner sound, especially over long cable runs.
Can I use this cable to connect a guitar or a bass?
Guitars and basses typically use unbalanced outputs (6.3 mm jack). While adapters exist, to benefit from a balanced connection, both the instrument and the equipment it's connected to must have balanced XLR inputs and outputs. This cable is ideal for microphones and other line-level equipment with this type of connection.
Does the quality of the connectors really affect the sound?
Yes. High-quality connectors, such as the metal ones on the CX35-1, ensure a stable electrical connection and minimize signal loss. Furthermore, their robust construction prevents mechanical failures that could interrupt the signal or introduce unwanted noise.
