PD-Connex CX35-6 - Professional XLR Male to XLR Female Cable, 6 meters
The PD-Connex CX35-6 is a high-quality balanced signal cable designed to deliver reliable, interference-free audio transmission in professional environments. At 6 meters long, this cable provides the flexibility needed for a wide range of applications, from recording studios to live stages. Equipped with 3-pin XLR connectors (male on one end and female on the other), it ensures a secure and stable connection between microphones, mixing consoles, powered speakers, and other professional audio equipment.
This cable is designed with signal purity and durability in mind. Its high-efficiency conductor, composed of 20 strands of 0.12mm², along with robust shielding of 65 strands of 0.12mm², effectively protects the signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). The result is clean, clear sound, free from unwanted noise. Its flexible yet durable PVC outer jacket, with a 6mm diameter, ensures easy handling and a long lifespan, even with intensive daily use. A cable tie is also included for easy storage and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for condenser microphones that require phantom power (+48V)?
Yes, absolutely. Its 3-pin XLR design and balanced construction allow +48V phantom power to pass from a mixing console or audio interface to a condenser microphone without any problems.
What does it mean for a cable to be "balanced" and "shielded"?
A balanced cable uses three conductors to transmit the signal: two for the audio signal (one with reversed polarity) and a ground. This allows the receiving equipment to effectively cancel any noise that may have been introduced along the cable. Shielding is a conductive mesh or sheet that surrounds the internal conductors, acting as a barrier that protects the signal from external interference, such as that produced by power lines or lights.
Can I use this cable for DMX lighting systems?
Although the connectors are identical, it's not recommended. XLR audio cables have a different impedance than that required by the DMX protocol for lighting (typically 110-120 ohms). Using this cable for DMX might work over very short distances, but it's prone to data transmission errors. It's always recommended to use DMX cables specifically designed for lighting systems.
