Detail 01
Female XLR on one end
Mates with male XLR outputs — mic, DI, preamp — and will not connect to an XLR input jack.

Independent shopping perspective
Six-foot balanced cable joining a male XLR output to a 1/4-inch TRS input. Studio and rack length, not a stage cable.

Strong match

What matters in use
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
Mates with male XLR outputs — mic, DI, preamp — and will not connect to an XLR input jack.
Detail 02
Three conductors, so the signal stays balanced right up to a line input instead of collapsing at the jack.
Detail 03
In an unbalanced TS jack the ring ties to sleeve. Signal still passes, but you lose the noise rejection.
Detail 04
Reaches across a console or between rack spaces. Short enough that you are not managing a coil.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Only where the destination is a 1/4-inch jack. The female XLR accepts a mic's male output, but it terminates in TRS, not XLR.
Yes. Three conductors on both ends, so it stays balanced from the XLR source to the TRS input.
The TRS end seats in the 1/4-inch part of a combo jack. Whether that input runs at line or mic gain depends on the device.
It covers a rack-to-desk hop or a jump across a few rack spaces. For floor-to-console runs, buy longer.
