The robust metal connectors offer peace of mind with a secure connection that won't fail during a recording session or live performance. Its flexibility and included cable management system optimize workflow, making setup and teardown faster and tidier.

Use Cases

This versatile XLR cable is an essential tool in a wide variety of audio applications:

• Connecting dynamic and condenser microphones to mixing consoles, preamplifiers, or audio interfaces.
• Interconnection of equipment in a studio rack, such as compressors, equalizers and effects processors.
• Link between the output of a mixer and the input of self-powered speakers or power stages.
• Used in live sound systems to connect stage boxes to the FOH (Front of House) console.
• Balanced line connections between different professional audio devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable balanced, and what does that mean?

Yes, the CX36-6 is a balanced cable. This means it uses three internal conductors (two for the signal with reversed polarity and a ground shield) to effectively cancel out noise and interference picked up along the cable. It's the professional standard for ensuring a clean audio signal, especially over distances greater than a couple of meters.

Can I use this cable to connect my condenser microphone that needs phantom power?

Absolutely. 3-pin XLR cables like this one are designed to safely carry +48V phantom power from a mixer or interface to a condenser microphone, along with the audio signal.

Are the connectors durable enough for touring use?

Yes, the connectors have a robust metal housing designed to withstand the wear and tear of frequent live use, constant assembly and disassembly, ensuring a reliable connection at all times.

What is the included cable tie for?

A cable tie is a very practical accessory that helps keep the cable coiled and organized when not in use. This not only makes storage and transport easier, but also prevents the formation of harmful knots and kinks, extending the cable's lifespan.
