Detail 01
Star-quad (Neglex Quad) construction
Four conductors wired as two pairs instead of two single wires, which cancels magnetic hum better than standard cable on short, cramped runs.

Independent shopping perspective
A 6 ft star-quad microphone cable with Neutrik XLR connectors, aimed at studio work where short runs sit close to power and computer gear.

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
Four conductors wired as two pairs instead of two single wires, which cancels magnetic hum better than standard cable on short, cramped runs.
Detail 02
Locking latch and a solid strain relief, so the cable stays seated on a stand and survives repeated plugging.
Detail 03
Noise induced along the run cancels at the preamp input. It also passes 48V phantom power to condenser mics.
Detail 04
A desk or booth distance. Fine for a mic on a short stand next to your interface, not for anything across a room.
Detail 05
Thicker and stiffer than a standard two-conductor mic cable, so it coils larger and holds its shape more.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Yes. A balanced XLR cable passes 48V from your preamp or interface to a condenser mic. The cable itself supplies nothing.
It uses two conductor pairs instead of one, which cancels magnetic hum from power supplies and transformers more effectively than standard mic cable.
Yes, between devices with XLR ins and outs. For 1/4" jacks you would need a different cable, not an adapter on this one.
Only for a mic close to the preamp or a wall panel. A stand across a booth usually wants 10 to 25 feet.
