Detail 01
XLR, low impedance
The balanced connection rejects hum picked up over long runs. This is why 50 feet is workable at all.

D'AddarioClassic Series XLR Microphone Cable (Lo-Z) 50 Foot
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
50-foot low-impedance XLR microphone cable. For stage runs where the mic position is far from the snake or mixer.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Front-of-house runs from stage mics back to a mixer or snake
- Podium, choir or drum overhead placements far from the board
- Rehearsal spaces where you need slack to move the mic around
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Short desk or home studio runs where 50 feet is just clutter
- Speaker connections, even if the connector fits
- Anyone needing a specific cable length for a permanent install
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
50 feet
Enough to cross a stage. Also enough to coil badly and tangle, so learn over-under coiling.
Detail 03
Balanced 3-pin
Carries phantom power to condenser mics from the mixer, so no separate power supply at the mic.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears on a dark stage and against black cable ramps. Harder to spot when striking gear at night.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01XLR fits some line-level gear too, but this is a mic cable, not a speaker cable
- 02No cable ties or bag included. Buy velcro wraps to keep the coil managed
- 0350 feet is heavy in a gig bag. Consider a shorter cable for short runs
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a speaker cable?
No. Mic cable uses thin conductors for low-current signal. Running amplifier output through it can overheat the cable and damage the amp.
02Does it carry phantom power?
Yes. A balanced XLR cable passes 48V phantom from the mixer to a condenser mic. No separate supply needed at the mic end.
03Is 50 feet too long for signal quality?
No. Balanced low-impedance mic lines are designed for long runs. 50 feet is well within normal range for live sound.
04Which end goes into the mic?
The female end connects to the microphone. The male end goes into the mixer, snake or interface input.
