Rapco HorizonStandard Lo-Z Microphone XLR Cable 30 ft.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 30-foot XLR mic cable for standard low-impedance microphones. Buy it as a stage or studio workhorse where length matters more than anything else.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a vocal mic from stage position back to a snake
- Drum overheads and room mics that need reach
- Spare cable in a gig bag for when one fails
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Short desktop or podcast setups where 30 feet is clutter
- Line-level 1/4" gear — both ends are XLR
- Patching into gear that only takes quarter-inch jacks
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
Lo-Z (low impedance)
Matches standard dynamic and condenser mics. Low impedance is what lets a run this long stay quiet.
Detail 03
XLR both ends
Female end goes on the microphone, male end into the preamp, mixer channel or snake input.
Detail 04
Balanced three-conductor connection
Balanced wiring cancels hum picked up along the run, which is why 30 feet is workable.
Detail 05
Black jacket
Disappears against stage floors and dark trim. Label or tape the ends if you run several at once.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Phantom power passes through — your preamp supplies it, not the cable
- 02No 1/4" adapters included; XLR to XLR only
- 03Coil it over-under from day one to avoid permanent kinks
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this carry phantom power for a condenser mic?
Yes. A standard XLR mic cable passes 48V from the preamp to the mic. Turn phantom on at the mixer or interface, not at the cable.
02Is 30 feet too long for a microphone?
No. Low-impedance balanced mic cables run far longer than this without noticeable noise or high-end loss.
03Can I plug this into my guitar amp?
Not directly. Guitar amps take 1/4" jacks; this is XLR on both ends. You'd need an adapter or a different cable.
04Which end goes on the mic?
The female end — the one with holes — connects to the microphone. The male end with pins goes into the mixer or interface.
