Klotz Cables M1MP1K1000 - Professional XLR to Jack Microphone Cable, 10 meters
The Klotz M1MP1K1000 is a high-quality, unbalanced microphone cable designed to provide a reliable and long-lasting connection in a wide variety of audio applications. Measuring 10 meters in length, this cable is the perfect solution for connecting dynamic microphones to unbalanced line or instrument inputs, such as those found on guitar amplifiers, compact mixing consoles, or audio interfaces. Klotz's reputation as an industry-leading manufacturer is reflected in every component of this cable, from its internal construction to its brand-name connectors.
Built to withstand the demands of continuous use both on stage and in the studio, the M1MP1K1000 features an extremely flexible and robust PVC outer jacket. This flexibility makes it easy to handle and store, preventing tangling and ensuring the cable lies flat on the floor. Internally, a highly efficient copper spiral shield protects the audio signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), guaranteeing clean, noise-free sound transmission—a crucial factor in any professional audio environment.
Main Features
-
High Quality Connectors: Equipped with a 3-pin male XLR connector manufactured by Klotz and a 6.35 mm (1/4") mono jack connector from the prestigious Amphenol brand, guaranteeing safe, stable and low resistance connections.
-
Robust and Flexible Construction: The highly flexible PVC cover not only protects the cable core from physical wear, but also facilitates handling and prevents tangling, extending its service life.
-
Effective Shielding: Its copper spiral shielding protects the audio signal from external interference, ensuring clear and buzz-free transmission, especially in environments with multiple electronic devices.
-
Unbalanced Transmission: Designed specifically for transmitting unbalanced audio signals, ideal for connecting microphone sources to line or high impedance (Hi-Z) inputs.
-
Generous Length: Its 10 meters in length provide great freedom of movement on stages, in rehearsal rooms or recording studios, allowing flexible placement of equipment.
Benefits for Musicians and Sound Technicians
The Klotz M1MP1K1000 offers peace of mind knowing your audio connection is solid and reliable. For the live musician, this means a cable that can withstand the rigors of touring without failing. For the sound engineer or producer in the studio, it ensures clean and accurate signal capture, without the frustration of troubleshooting noise or poor connections. The combination of high-end components and a robust build designed for heavy use makes it a smart and long-lasting investment for any serious audio professional or enthusiast.
Use Cases
This cable is the perfect tool for a variety of situations. It's ideal for singers or speakers who need to connect a dynamic microphone directly to a PA amplifier or a line channel on a mixer that doesn't have an XLR input. It's also an excellent solution for recording a microphone's output to an audio interface via its instrument (Hi-Z) input or for connecting a microphone to certain types of vocal effects pedals that use jack inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable with a condenser microphone?
No. This cable is unbalanced and does not provide the phantom power (+48V) required for condenser microphones. It is designed primarily for dynamic microphones.
What is the difference between a balanced cable and an unbalanced one?
A balanced cable uses three conductors to cancel out noise that might be introduced over long runs. An unbalanced cable, like this one, uses two conductors and is more susceptible to noise over very long distances (generally more than 10-15 meters). For its 10-meter length, the high-quality shielding of the Klotz M1MP1K1000 effectively minimizes this risk in most environments.
Is it compatible with any microphone with an XLR output?
Yes, it's compatible with any dynamic microphone that has a standard male XLR output. However, it will convert the signal to unbalanced for the jack input.
