Detail 01

Rapco HorizonStandard Lo-Z Microphone XLR Cable 6 ft.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 6-foot balanced XLR cable for microphones and other low-impedance sources. Short length for close patching, not for stage runs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Mic to a nearby stage box or a desktop interface
- Patching a rack out to a mixer input
- Drum overheads or a podcast mic within a few feet
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Stage-to-FOH runs; six feet will not reach
- Guitar or pedal use, which needs 1/4 in. unbalanced
- Anyone needing a bundle; this is one 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.

Balanced Lo-Z
Two signal conductors cancel picked-up noise, so the cable stays quiet near power and lighting.
Detail 03
XLR connectors
Locking latch keeps the mic end from pulling out when someone trips the cable.
Detail 04
Carries phantom power
Passes the 48V a condenser mic needs from the mixer or interface.
Detail 05
Black jacket
Blends into stands and floors under stage lighting.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One cable, not a multi-pack. Buy per input you need.
- 02Six feet is short; measure from stand to input first.
- 03Dynamic mics do not include a cable, so count one per mic.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this power a condenser mic?
Yes. XLR cable carries the 48V phantom power your mixer or interface supplies. The cable itself needs no power.
02Can I plug my guitar into it?
Not directly. Guitars use 1/4 in. unbalanced jacks. You would need a DI box to convert the signal to XLR first.
03Is 6 feet long enough for live use?
Only for a mic close to a stage box or snake. For a mic to a mixer across the room, get 20 feet or more.
04Which end goes into the mic?
The female end plugs into the microphone. The male end goes into the mixer, interface, or stage box.
