Detail 01
Lo-Z (low impedance)
The standard for stage mics. It's what makes long runs practical without the signal going dull or picking up noise.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 50-foot XLR microphone cable for long runs from stage to a mixer. Standard low-impedance wiring, sized for a full room.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running a vocal mic from the stage back to a front-of-house console
- Wiring a stage box or snake position across a large room
- Houses of worship and halls where the mixer sits far back
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small setups where the mixer is a few feet away
- Speaker connections — XLR here is signal, not amp output
- Guitar to amp, which needs a 1/4-inch instrument cable
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 out interference along the run. That's why 50 feet stays quiet where an instrument cable wouldn't.
Detail 03
50 ft. length
Covers most club and hall stage-to-console distances. Also more cable to coil, carry, and tape down every night.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Least visible when taped across a floor or run along trim. Label both ends if you own several of these.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Condenser mics need phantom power from your mixer; this cable passes it, nothing more
- 02Tape or mat long floor runs so nobody catches a foot
- 03Coil it over-under; wrapping it tight twists the conductors over time
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 50 feet too long for a microphone?
No. Balanced low-impedance mic lines run this far routinely with no audible loss. Length is a bigger issue for unbalanced instrument cables.
02Can I use this to connect a powered speaker?
Yes, for the line-level signal input on a powered speaker. Do not use XLR cable for passive speaker connections from an amplifier.
03Does this pass phantom power?
Yes. A standard balanced XLR cable carries the 48V your mixer supplies to a condenser mic.
04Can I plug my guitar into this?
Not directly. Guitars use 1/4-inch instrument cables. You'd need a DI box to convert the guitar signal to a balanced XLR line.
