PD-Connex CX36-20 - 20 Meter Professional XLR Male to Female Signal Cable

The PD-Connex CX36-20 is a high-quality balanced audio cable designed for sound professionals and enthusiasts seeking pristine and reliable signal transmission. At 20 meters long, this cable is the ideal solution for connecting equipment on large stages, in spacious recording studios, or in any application where distance is a critical factor. Its robust construction and premium components ensure that the audio signal remains pure, free from noise and interference, from source to destination.

This flexible signal cable is equipped with 3-pin XLR metal connectors (male on one end and female on the other) that provide a secure and durable connection. The quality of the connectors is essential to prevent signal loss or accidental disconnections during use. Furthermore, the cable's balanced design is crucial for electromagnetic noise cancellation, ensuring clean, professional sound, especially over long runs like this one. For easy transport and storage, a convenient cable tie is included to help keep it tidy and protected.

Main Features

• Professional Construction: Designed to withstand the demands of continuous use on tours, live events, and in studios. Its flexible yet durable outer casing protects the internal conductors from potential damage.
• High-Quality Metal Connectors: The male and female XLR connectors are made of robust metal, ensuring a firm connection and excellent conductivity for lossless signal transmission.
• Balanced Signal Transmission: Its balanced configuration is essential to effectively eliminate hum and interference (EMI/RFI), resulting in a clear and crisp audio signal, even along its 20-meter length.
• Long Length for Maximum Flexibility: Its 20-meter range makes it perfect for connecting microphones on large stages, active speakers located far from the mixing console, or any audio equipment that requires a long-distance connection.
• Cable Tie Included: Supplied with a reusable Velcro strap that makes it easy to wind and store the cable neatly, extending its lifespan and preventing tangles.

• Interconnection of equipment in a rack, such as equalizers, compressors and effects processors.
• Use in recording studios, stages, theaters, churches, conference rooms and fixed audiovisual installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable compatible with microphones that require 48V phantom power?
Yes, being a balanced XLR cable with the standard pin configuration, it transmits the necessary phantom power for the operation of condenser microphones without problems.

Can a length of 20 meters degrade audio quality?
No. Thanks to its balanced design and the quality of its shielding, this cable is designed to maintain signal integrity over distances of up to 20 meters without introducing noise or perceptible loss of quality.

What does it mean for the cable to be "balanced"?
A balanced cable uses three conductors to carry the audio signal. Two of them carry the same signal but with reversed polarity, and the third is the ground. The receiving equipment inverts one of the signals and combines them, effectively canceling any electromagnetic noise that may have been picked up along the cable.

Can the connectors be repaired?
Yes, unlike cables with molded plastic connectors, the metal connectors on this cable are usually detachable, allowing a qualified technician to easily repair or replace them if necessary.
