D'AddarioClassic Series XLR Microphone Cable (Lo-Z) 25 Foot
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 25-foot balanced XLR microphone cable. For live vocal mics, stage runs to a snake or mixer, and any low-impedance mic connection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Vocal mic to a mixer or stage box across a small to mid stage
- Home studio runs from a mic to an interface across the room
- Connecting mics, DI boxes, and balanced line gear
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitar or bass — those need an unbalanced 1/4 inch instrument cable
- Speaker connections — mic cable is not built for amplifier output
- Cramped desktop setups where 25 feet is just clutter
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
Low impedance (Lo-Z)
Matches standard stage and studio mics. This is what nearly every modern mic expects.
Detail 03
25 foot length
Reaches from a stage-front mic to a side stage box without a coupler. Balanced signal means no tone loss at this distance.
Detail 04
Male and female XLR ends
Male end goes to the mixer or interface input, female end to the mic. Cables chain end to end if you need more length.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cable only — no mic clip, stand adapter, or phantom power source
- 02Confirm your interface has an XLR input, not just 1/4 inch
- 03Do not use as a speaker cable; conductor gauge is not rated for it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this carry phantom power?
Yes. A standard balanced XLR cable passes 48V phantom power from your mixer or interface to a condenser mic.
02Can I use this to plug in my guitar?
No. Guitars use unbalanced 1/4 inch instrument cables. You would need an XLR to 1/4 inch adapter, and that defeats the purpose.
03Is 25 feet too long for a mic?
No. Balanced cable rejects noise over distance, so 25 feet is routine for live and studio use.
04Can I connect two of these together?
Yes. XLR ends mate male to female, so cables chain to extend a run. Keep total length reasonable to avoid cable clutter.
