Detail 01
XLR, balanced
Two signal conductors plus shield cancel noise at the input, so long runs stay quiet near lights and power.

D'AddarioClassic Series XLR Microphone Cable (Lo-Z) 10 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-foot balanced XLR cable for mics and line-level gear. Standard length for a stage mic to a nearby stand-mounted box or interface.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Home studio mic to interface or preamp
- Vocal mic to a stage snake or floor box
- Connecting mixer outputs to powered speakers
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Long stage runs where 25 ft. or more is needed
- Guitar or bass, which use 1/4-inch instrument cable
- Unbalanced consumer gear with RCA or 1/8-inch jacks
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
Lo-Z (low impedance)
Matches standard stage and studio mics and mixer inputs. This is the normal pro-audio connection, not a specialty item.
Detail 03
10 ft. length
Enough slack for a mic stand a few feet from an interface or floor box, without coils of excess on the ground.
Detail 04
Classic Series
D'Addario's budget line. Basic construction meant for regular use rather than premium connectors.
Detail 05
Black jacket
Blends into stands and stage floors, and stays inconspicuous in a studio rack.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Condenser mics need phantom power from your interface — the cable does not supply it
- 02Nothing included beyond the cable itself
- 03Check whether you need a longer run before settling on 10 ft.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with a condenser mic?
Yes. XLR carries phantom power from your interface or mixer to the mic. The cable itself does not generate power.
02Is 10 feet long enough for a vocal mic on stage?
It's enough to reach a nearby floor box or snake. For a run to a mixer across the stage, choose a longer cable.
03Can I use this between a mixer and powered speakers?
Yes, if both ends use XLR. Balanced line-level connections are a standard use for this cable.
04What does Lo-Z mean?
Low impedance — the standard for professional mics and mixer inputs. It's what nearly all modern XLR gear expects.
