Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 25-foot XLR mic cable at an entry-level price. For live rigs and home studios that need a spare or a replacement run.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a dynamic mic to a mixer or interface
- Keeping a spare in the gig bag
- Patching between two XLR-equipped devices onstage
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitar or bass into an amp — wrong connector entirely
- Boutique studio runs where cable brand is part of the sound
- Short desktop hops where 25 feet becomes 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
XLR connection
Balanced three-conductor design rejects hum and interference over long runs, unlike a standard instrument cable.
Detail 03
$22 price point
Sits in replacement-cable territory. Buy two and you have a spare when one fails mid-set.
Detail 04
Gray jacket
Easier to spot on a dark stage than black, and easier to tell apart in a pile of cables.

- 03Confirm you need a female-to-female run, not the standard male-to-female mic cable
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this to plug a microphone into a mixer?
Not directly. A mic body has a male XLR output and a mixer input is female, so a standard cable needs one end of each. This one has two female ends.
02What is a female-to-female XLR actually for?
Joining two cables that both end in male connectors, or connecting a device with a male output to another male output-style connector. It works as a coupler in a pinch.
03Is XLR balanced?
Yes. Three conductors let the receiving gear cancel noise picked up along the run, which is why XLR handles long distances better than unbalanced cable.
04Will it work with phantom power?
XLR cable passes phantom power from the preamp to the mic. Nothing in the cable blocks it.
