Detail 01
3-pin XLR
The balanced mic standard. Noise picked up along the run cancels at the input, so hum stays low over distance.

ACCU CABLE3-Pin Male - Female XLR Connectors
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A plain black 3-pin XLR, male to female — the standard microphone connection. Buy it as a spare or for fixed studio and rehearsal use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a dynamic or condenser mic into a mixer or interface
- Keeping spares in a rehearsal room, church or podcast setup
- Short balanced runs from a mixer output to a powered speaker
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars, keyboards and pedals, which need 1/4-inch cables
- Long DMX runs, where 110-ohm data cable is the right choice
- Touring rigs that want heavy-duty connectors and a lifetime warranty
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Male on one end, female on the other
Mic to mixer in one hop, and two of them plug end to end when you need a longer run.
Detail 03
Locking connector
The female end clicks onto the mic or panel and needs a thumb release, so a foot catching the cable is less likely to unplug it.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears against a dark stage floor. Tape or heatshrink the ends if you need to tell cables apart in a coiled pile.
Detail 05
Under $7
Spare-cable money. Sensible to buy several and rotate them out rather than trusting one cable on a session.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the run length you need; XLRs chain end to end to extend
- 02Phantom power comes from your mixer or interface, not from the cable
- 03Nothing to adapt a 1/4-inch input — you need a converter for that
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a microphone cable?
Yes. 3-pin XLR male to female is the standard microphone connection, used from the mic to a mixer, interface or stage box.
02Will it carry 48V phantom power?
Yes. Phantom power travels down the same three pins from your mixer or interface to the mic. Nothing on the cable needs switching.
03Can I use it for DMX lighting?
It will physically connect to 3-pin DMX gear. DMX asks for 110-ohm data cable, so expect it to work on short hops and get flaky on long ones.
04Can I plug this into a guitar amp?
No. Guitars and amps use unbalanced 1/4-inch jacks. You would need a DI box or a different cable entirely.
