Presented here with a cable length of 100'', this Warm Audio Premier Series XLR Cable is designed to provide a high-end connection between balanced gear with XLR jacks, such as microphones, outboard equipment, and interface-to-monitoring connections. If you care about the details of your sound onstage and in the studio, use this cable to preserve your signal.

This XLR cable is chock-full of features that enable a top-of-the-line performance, such as gold-plated connectors and a star-quad wiring scheme for superior RFI rejection in the balancing process. Double-Ruessen shielding helps protect against EMI, and a braided outer wrap fights against tangling. To guarantee an optimal performance, Warm Audio partnered with Gotham AG, one of Switzerland's best producers of premium cable.

Warm's Premier cables go above and beyond, adding features like gold-plated connectors, a braided outer wrap, four-conductor star-quad construction (helping aid in giving you powerful rejection of RFI), and double-Ruessen shielding (also for increased rejection of EMI).

This braided wrap removes the friction that occurs when rubber or PVC rub together, so it's much easier to handle and wrap the cable. No more fighting with a rat's nest of cable spaghetti. The braided wrap also adds an element of strength and reliability, as it helps to protect the cable's PVC jacket from damage due to pinching or binding.

A traditional balanced cable uses three cores of wire to carry audio signals—one shielded core for the positive leg, one shielded core for the negative leg, and a plain outer wrap that functions as the ground. The idea is this: a fully balanced system flips the phase of the signal, merges the positive and negative signals together, and effectively cancels out interference encountered along the cable's length by throwing it out of phase with the audio.

Star-quad construction takes that concept even further by using five cores instead of three. Two cores are provided each for the positive and negative legs, as well as a single ground. This helps to further shield the audio from RFI (radio frequency interference), ensuring an even better performance.

Double-Ruessen shielding goes further than more traditional techniques in two ways: First, the cable is wrapped with two separate shields. Second, the outer shield is wrapped in a contrary direction to the inner shield, creating a stronger and more complete barrier from EMI for the internal cores.

Gold connectors have characteristics that are advantageous for signal transfer and provide more resistance to corrosion than other metals, making it well-suited for cable connectors.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work between a mixing board and an android smartphone? Using an auxiliary output from the mixer

A: No, this cable is intended for connecting a dynamic microphone with the input on a smartphone. Since you will be connecting the output from a mixer, which is a louder line level signal (not mic level), you will need to use an attenuator (level matching) cable that will pad the line level signal from the mixer and make it compatible with the mic level input on a smartphone. If you will be connecting from a mixer's XLR output, you will want to send both the left and right output signals so you will need a cable like the Sescom SES-43DB-# 43 dB Pad DSLR Attenuating Line to Mic Level Cable - 18" (B&H # SES43DBMZ2XJ) combined with a USB-C adapter such as the Apple USB Type-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter (B&H # APMU7E2AMA) to convert the 3.5mm TRS plug to USB-C. If you have other output options on the mixer, such as RCA (Tape output), you can use the Sescom SES-43DB-# 43 dB Pad DSLR Attenuating Line to Mic Level Cable - 18" (B&H # SES43DBMZ2P). Please

Q: 2. What size is the hole for the spool?

A: The Premier Imaging Clear Film for Graphic Arts (36" x 100' Roll) comes with a 2" roll core.

Q: 3. What kind of USB cord is needed with this?

A: There is a USB cable included with the XLR-USB-48 which is USB Type-A to mini-USB. If you need a replacement, you can use the Pearstone USB 2.0 Type A Male to Type B Mini Male Cable (Black) - 3' (B&H # PECUAMUMBM3).

Q: 4. Will this work if I have an xlr extension cable running from the mic to the device itself? Or does it need to be plugged direct

A: Yes, the Polsen XLR-USB-48 XLR to USB Audio Interface does not need to be plugged into the microphone. You can use an XLR just like any other audio interface.

Q: 5. What would you recommend coiled or straight cable?

A: Opinions from boompole operators on their preference for a coiled or straight internal boompole cable are mixed and often dependent on the type of audio that is being captured and whether they use a fully extended boompole. However, using a coiled internal cable, like the one inside of the K-Tek KE-110CC Avalon Series Aluminum Boompole, seems to be more popular.

Q: 6. Can I use this to connect the 2 line XLR outputs from a Sound Devices Mix Pre-D to the Sound Devices 633 TA3 inputs?

A: The Remote Audio CA744INL Dual XLR to Dual TA3 Channel 3/4 Input Cable can be used to connect the 2 line XLR outputs from a Sound Devices Mix Pre-D to the Sound Devices 633 TA3 inputs.

Q: 7. Should the plastic cover half way down the silver top of the device be removed?

A: No

Q: 8. If he XLR cables are connected from the cordless receiver to the our main ampler, does the 1/4 audio cable have to be hooked up also for proper operation?

A: No. You can use one or the other, Not both.

Q: 9. Why is the headphone output of the mic so low but the system audio normal?

A: The headphones you are using with the XLR-USB-48 may require more power which can be achieved by using a headphone amplifier such as the Polsen HPA-4X2 (B&H # POHPA4X2) to provide more volume. You can find additional options for headphone amps listed under the "Accessories" tab.

Q: 10. Could I use this with other brands of bi-directional fiber converter to de-embedded SDI audio?

A: Yes, you can use any pipeline with any mix of brands to de-embedded SDI audio along with the AJA 12G-AMA 12G-SDI Balanced Audio Embedder/Disembedder with Fiber Options.
