Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-foot balanced XLR microphone cable. Short run for a mic on a stand to a nearby mixer, interface, or stage box.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Vocal mic to a stage box a few feet away
- Home studio mic into an interface or preamp
- Drum mics feeding a snake at the kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitar to amp, which needs an unbalanced 1/4 inch cable
- Long runs from stage to a front-of-house desk
- Anyone needing a right-angle connector for tight clearance
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
Balanced XLR
Two signal conductors cancel interference at the input, so the line stays quiet near lights and power runs.
Detail 03
10 ft length
Enough for a mic stand to a nearby input. Too short to reach across a stage on its own.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Blends into stage floors. Consider colored tape or labels if you run several identical cables.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Condenser mics need phantom power from your mixer or interface — the cable does not supply it
- 02Nothing included beyond the cable: no adapter, no cable tie
- 03Check whether your interface takes XLR or needs a combo jack
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I plug my guitar into this?
No. Guitars need an unbalanced 1/4 inch instrument cable. This has XLR connectors for microphones and balanced gear.
02Does it carry phantom power?
Yes, balanced XLR cable passes phantom power, but the power itself comes from your mixer or interface.
03Is 10 feet long enough for live use?
It works from a mic stand to a nearby stage box or monitor input. For a run to front of house, you want a longer cable or a snake.
04Will it work with a dynamic and a condenser mic?
Yes. The cable is the same for both. Only the condenser needs phantom power switched on at the input.
