Know before you buy
This cable is designed to bridge the gap between balanced XLR outputs and 1/4-inch TRS inputs. It is ideal for connecting professional gear like mixing boards, preamplifiers, and audio interfaces to PA systems or outboard processing equipment.
Gold plating primarily prevents oxidation and corrosion over time, which ensures a consistent, reliable electrical connection. While it doesn't change the sonic character of your audio, it helps maintain signal integrity in environments where cables are frequently plugged and unplugged.
Yes, it uses Mogami Neglex multicore cable, which is double-shielded. This construction is highly effective at rejecting electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise, making it suitable for both quiet studio environments and electrically noisy live stages.
While the physical connectors will fit, you should be cautious. Microphones typically require phantom power, which standard 1/4-inch TRS inputs on audio interfaces or mixers usually do not provide. Always check that your receiving device can supply the necessary power if your microphone requires it.
Mogami is known for its 'super-flexible' jacket design. Despite housing eight channels of audio, the cable remains pliable and easy to route through tight rack spaces or across a studio floor without fighting against the cable's memory.
Yes, the fan-out ends are clearly marked, which is essential for troubleshooting and quick setup. This prevents the common headache of tracing individual lines when you are patching in multiple channels at once.
