PD-Connex CX35-25 - 25-meter Professional XLR Male to Female Signal Cable

PD-Connex CX35-25 - 25-meter Professional XLR Male to Female Signal Cable

The PD-Connex CX35-25 is a balanced audio signal cable designed for sound professionals and enthusiasts seeking clean, reliable, and interference-free signal transmission over long distances. At 25 meters long, this cable is the perfect solution for connecting equipment on large stages, in spacious recording studios, or in any application where the sound source and receiver are considerably separated. Its robust and flexible construction ensures exceptional performance and a long lifespan, even under the most demanding conditions of daily use and touring.

The key to its performance lies in its balanced design and high-quality shielding. This cable uses 3-pin XLR connectors, a standard in the professional audio industry, to carry an audio signal protected against electromagnetic noise and radio frequency interference (EMI and RFI). Thanks to its complete shielding and internal copper conductors, the CX35-25 ensures that the signal from your microphone, mixer, or any other source reaches its destination with maximum purity and clarity, without unwanted hum or noise.

Main Features

• Professional Length of 25 Meters: Offers exceptional reach for connecting equipment in large spaces such as stages, auditoriums, churches or recording studios, without the need for additional extensions.
• High-Quality Metal XLR Connectors: Equipped with a male XLR connector (M) on one end and a female XLR connector (F) on the other. Its robust metal housing ensures a secure, wear-resistant, and durable connection.
• Balanced Cable for Noise Elimination: Its balanced internal structure is fundamental to effectively cancel noise and external interference, guaranteeing a clean and professional audio signal.
• Flexible and Durable Construction: Despite its robust construction, the cable maintains excellent flexibility, making it easy to handle, coil, and store without risk of damaging the internal conductors. Its 6 mm outer diameter strikes a perfect balance between strength and manageability.
• Effective Shielding: It features dense braided shielding (64 strands of 0.12 mm) that protects the audio signal from electrical interference common in environments with multiple electronic equipment and power cables.
• High Purity Copper Conductors: The internal conductor, composed of 20 strands of 0.12 mm, ensures optimal conductivity and signal transmission without loss of quality.

User Benefits

• Flawless Sound Quality: Enjoy crisp, artifact-free audio transmission, ensuring the quality of your microphones and equipment remains intact from source to destination.
• Reliability in Any Situation: Ideal for critical applications such as live events or recording sessions, where a wiring failure is not an option. Its high-quality components minimize the risk of technical failures.
• Connection Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of professional audio equipment, including microphones, mixing consoles, audio interfaces, powered speakers, effects processors, and patchbays.
• Convenient and Simple Handling: Its flexibility prevents tangling and facilitates installation and disassembly, saving time and effort in setting up your equipment.

Use Cases

The PD-Connex CX35-25 cable is the ideal choice for a multitude of audio applications, such as:

• Connecting microphones to mixing consoles in concert venues, theaters, and conference rooms.
• Sending the main signal from the mixing console to self-powered speakers or power stages located at a distance.
• Used as an interconnect cable in recording studios to connect preamps, compressors, and other rack equipment.
• Fixed sound installations in auditoriums, places of worship or convention centers.
• Cabling for DJs who need to connect their controllers to professional PA systems at events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable compatible with microphones that require phantom power?

Yes, being a standard 3-pin balanced XLR cable, it is fully capable of carrying +48V phantom power from a mixer or interface to a condenser microphone without any problems.

Can a length of 25 meters degrade the quality of the audio signal?

Thanks to its balanced construction and high-quality shielding, any potential signal degradation over 25 meters is virtually imperceptible for line-level or microphone-level signals. This cable is designed to maintain signal integrity over long distances.

Can I use this cable to connect DMX lighting equipment?

Although 3-pin XLR connectors are visually identical to those used in some DMX systems, it is not recommended. DMX cables have a specific impedance (generally 110-120 ohms) that is different from that of microphone cables. Using an audio cable for DMX can cause erratic lighting operation, especially in long strings.
