Detail 01
Neglex quad construction
Four conductors instead of two, cross-paired to cancel electromagnetic hum. The gain is largest near power supplies, dimmers and transformers.

MogamiGold Studio Neglex Quad Mic Cable With Neutrik XLR Connectors - 3 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 3 ft XLR mic cable with Neutrik connectors and Mogami's quad-core construction, sized for short runs inside a rack or between nearby gear.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Patching between rack units or outboard gear a few feet apart
- Short mic-to-preamp runs in a tight recording booth or desktop setup
- Studios with noisy electrical environments where hum rejection matters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Any run longer than a few feet — 3 ft leaves no slack for stage use
- Players needing an instrument cable to reach an amp
- Buyers on a budget, since a basic 3 ft XLR costs a fraction of this
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
Neutrik XLR connectors
A latching, industry-standard connector. The locking tab means it will not pull free from a mic or preamp on its own.
Detail 03
Balanced XLR
Balanced wiring rejects noise picked up along the run and is the standard for microphones, preamps and line-level studio gear.
Detail 04
3 ft length
Very short. Ideal for rack patching and desktop use; not enough to reach a mic stand from across a room.
Detail 05
Mogami Gold Studio series
Mogami's top studio line. The price is in conductor quality, shielding and durability, not in any tonal coloration.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure first — 3 ft goes quickly once you route around a rack
- 02Condenser mics need phantom power from your preamp; the cable passes it but does not supply it
- 03Not an instrument or speaker cable; XLR gear on both ends only
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this carry phantom power?
Yes. Balanced XLR cable passes the 48V your preamp or interface supplies. The cable itself generates nothing — the power comes from the gear at the other end.
02What does quad cable actually do?
It uses four conductors in cross-paired sets rather than two, which cancels more magnetic interference. The audible difference shows up mainly near transformers, dimmers and power supplies.
03Is 3 ft too short for a microphone?
For a mic on a stand a few feet from your interface, it works. For a stand across the room or any stage use, choose a longer cable.
04Can I use this between my mixer and powered speakers?
Yes, if both ends have XLR jacks and the distance is under 3 ft. For a passive speaker fed from an amplifier, you need a speaker cable instead.
