Within our range of microphone cables are male to female XLR connectors or 6.3mm jack to XLR. These are the two different types of connectors you will find on any given equipment with a microphone input included, so we have you covered for any circumstances.

Our range of mic cables have a robust and high-quality build and are built to last. Even the highest quality microphones can sound poor if used with a low-quality cable, so our mic cables are all high-quality to ensure the best sound possible.

We offer these cables in lengths ranging from 1.5m to 20m, making them great for home or live uses. Cables that have male and female XLR connectors can also be combined with each other to extend the overall length. For example, if you connect a 20m and 10m XLR cable together, you then have a 30m cable which is great for larger distances.

What Makes Microphone Cables Unique?

Microphone cables, or mic cables for short, are specifically designed to transmit audio signals with clarity and reliability. Unlike standard cables used for other electronics, these cables are engineered to minimise interference and ensure the integrity of sound during transmission. This is achieved through features such as shielded wiring, which reduces the risk of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, and robust connectors that maintain a stable connection even during extensive use.

Additionally, microphone cables are optimised for the low-impedance signals that microphones typically produce. This sets them apart from instrument or speaker cables, which operate with different impedance levels. For this reason, using a dedicated mic cable is essential for achieving the best audio quality. This makes them indispensable in both professional and personal settings, from recording studios to live performances, and even for podcasting or streaming setups.

Who Uses Mic Cables and Where Are They Used?

Mic cables are a vital tool for anyone involved in audio production, whether as a hobby or profession. Musicians and vocalists rely on microphone cables for performances and studio recordings, where clear audio is a priority. Audio engineers and event technicians use these cables in live sound environments, where durability and reliability are critical. For podcasters and broadcasters, mic cables are essential for ensuring consistent audio quality, particularly when using professional-grade microphones.

These cables find applications in diverse environments, ranging from compact home studios to large concert venues. Their versatility makes them suitable for connecting microphones to audio interfaces, mixers, and amplifiers across different setups. For example, in a live performance, a long XLR mic cable might connect a stage microphone to a mixing desk located far away, ensuring seamless sound transmission. Similarly, a shorter cable may be preferred in a studio environment to reduce clutter and maintain signal integrity.

By offering various lengths and connection types, microphone cables provide tailored solutions for both amateurs and professionals. Their ability to support multiple applications, combined with their specialised construction, makes them a cornerstone of any audio setup, ensuring reliability and quality in any setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of cable is used for microphones?

Microphones typically use balanced XLR cables, which have three conductors: positive, negative, and ground. These cables are designed to transmit low-level audio signals while minimising noise and interference, making them ideal for professional audio applications.

What is the difference between XLR and jack cable?

XLR cables are balanced, minimising noise, and ideal for microphones. Jack cables, either balanced (TRS) or unbalanced (TS), are more versatile but less noise-resistant, commonly used for instruments, headphones, and general audio connections. Each suits a specific purpose.

Are XLR and DMX cables the same?

XLR and DMX cables may look similar but are not the same. XLR cables are designed for audio signal transmission, while DMX cables are specifically made for lighting control, requiring a different impedance to ensure proper data transfer.

Are all XLR cables for microphones?

No, not all XLR cables are specifically for microphones. While XLR cables are commonly used for microphones due to their balanced signal capabilities, they are also used for other audio applications, such as connecting mixers, speakers, and other audio equipment. It is important to check the cable's specifications to ensure it suits the intended purpose.

What makes a good mic cable?

A good microphone cable features high-quality shielding to minimise interference, durable materials for longevity, and secure connectors for reliable signal transmission. Balanced XLR designs are preferred for noise reduction and maintaining audio clarity over longer distances.

Does cable length affect microphone audio quality?

Yes, cable length can affect microphone audio quality. Longer cables may experience signal degradation or increased noise, especially with unbalanced cables. Balanced XLR cables mitigate this issue, maintaining clear audio over longer distances, but extremely long runs should still be avoided.
