Use this XLR to XLR cable to connect unbalanced sources to balanced XLR inputs. This pro-audio cable is made from 22 AWG twisted pair audio cable under an aluminum foil shield & 60% copper braid for maximum shielding from noise. The highly flexible 7mm PVC jacket reduces the risk of the cable kinking & damaging the conductors. Bright nickel plating on solid brass connectors resists wear from reconfiguring & moving equipment from one venue to another. Spring strain relief on the plug & a chuck strain relief inside the XLR reduce the effects of age on the solder joints & contacts.
