Strong match

Who this is for

  • Keyboard or line-level 1/4-inch output into a mixer XLR input
  • Desk-to-rack runs needing a little more reach than a patch cable
  • Feeding a powered speaker's XLR input from 1/4-inch gear

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Microphones, which need a female XLR end
  • Guitar-to-amp use — that needs 1/4-inch on both ends
  • Runs longer than six feet

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 01

Male XLR end

Plugs into a female XLR input on a console, interface, or powered speaker. It cannot connect to a microphone.

Detail 02

6 ft length

Enough to cross a desk or reach a rack a step away, without leaving a loop of slack on the floor.

Detail 03

1/4-inch plug

Goes into a 1/4-inch output jack. Whether that jack is TS or TRS decides if the run is balanced.

Detail 04

Single channel

Mono, one signal path. A stereo output needs two of these, one per side.

Detail 05

Black jacket

Blends into a rack or stage floor, but offers no color coding when several cables run side by side.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01A line-level output into a mic input can overload it — pad or use line in
  2. 02The XLR end is male, so it won't connect to a microphone
  3. 03Fixed six-foot length; measure the run before ordering

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can I use this as a microphone cable?

No. The XLR end is male and is meant to plug into an input. A microphone's own output is male, so it needs a female XLR end.

02Will this connect my keyboard to a mixer?

Yes, if the keyboard has a 1/4-inch output and the mixer has an XLR input. Watch levels — a line output into a mic input may need padding.

03Is it balanced?

The XLR end is. Whether the whole run stays balanced depends on the 1/4-inch side: a TRS jack keeps it balanced, a TS jack does not.

04Can I plug this into a powered speaker?

Yes, if the speaker has a female XLR input and your source has a 1/4-inch output. Six feet limits you to gear standing close by.
