The orange Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable (10') is designed to be an extremely quiet and flexible cable that is ideal for the most demanding live sound and performance applications. The cable is engineered to be durable and provide protection against EMI, RFI, and static noise. While the cable's color-coding affords the ability to quickly differentiate between multiple connections onstage, it provides a pleasant aesthetic quality at the same time.

Premium Performance 3000 Series cables are made from 24-AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. The 95% dual-spiral shielding makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.

95% dual-spiral shielding offers protection from EMI and RFI noise

Twin conductive PVC inner shielding provides 100% coverage of the core conductor. It helps keep the cable's signal from radiating and affecting nearby cables and helps prevents external EMI from penetrating to the cable's core

24-AWG oxygen-free stranded copper inner core provides the best possible conductivity

Cotton yarn reduces electrostatic and microphonic noise

All solder points shrink-wrapped for protection

Neutrik XX silver connectors offer high conductivity

Caged type contact and improved ground contact

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are all 4 pins wired this is to be used to connect a DC power supply to a camera?

A: This is possible, but it depends on the DC Power supply and camera you are using.

Q: 2. What is the length of each segment -- that is, from an individual XLR plug to where it enters the four-cable bundle, and the segment where the four cables are bundled together? For instance, if the "fanned" portions were 2' each and the bundled portion were 10', it would be 14' from a male XLR plug to its matching female plug.

A: I just measured my cable, and each fan is approximately 2' and the bundled segment is about 6', so the total length (XLR male to XLR female) is the advertised 10'. You do not get a "bonus" 4' due to the two fans -- their length is included.

Q: 3. Does this adapter convert 48v phantom power down to 5v?

A: This allows you to connect a mic equipped with a 3.5mm TRS connector to an XLR input. The mics you would be using will need to have their own power supply, it will not allow them to be powered through Phantom Power.

Q: 4. Are all 4 pins wired?

A: Pinout of 4-pin XLR connector used for 12V powerThe 4 pin male XLR connector is found on nearly all professional location video equipment. It is used for an external 12 volt DC input. Pinout: pin 1 = negative pin 4 = positiveNo connections are made to either pin 2 or 3. NOTE: Check and double check that the wiring is correct to your equipment before connecting this to any expensive video gear. Mistakes can be costly to you.

Q: 5. Will this work to get a Sennheiser lav ew 122 or ME 2-II wired?

A: No, the adapter you need is the Rode VXLR+ 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter with Phantom Power Converter (B&H # ROVXLRP). This adapter will convert the 3.5mm plug to XLR and also allow converts phantom power (typically 48V) from a mixer or recorder to plug-in power (approximately 3 to 5V) which the lav mic needs to operate. The Kopul adapter only converts the plug to XLR but will not convert phantom power to plug-in power.

Q: 6. What gage wire is used in each channel line. And what kind of connectors

A: The wire gauge used is 24 gauge. The connectors used are manufactured by Neutrik to Whirlwind specification with longer barrels and durable laser-etched markings.Options include Snakeskin (TM), wire mesh hanger grips, and additional connector configurations.

Q: 7. Is shielding/xlr design strong enough for this to be run next to a power strip or two (hehe) and have less distortion than a standard or high quality 3.5mm cable?

A: No guarantees - but it very well may help.

Q: 8. Will NA3FDM fit Audio-Technica AT8646QM Microphone Shock-mount Plate?

A: The Neutrik NA3FDM should fit into the Audio-Technica AT8646QM shock mount plate, but the original connector on the plate is much different from the NA3FDM. Just be aware of the extra clearance needed behind the plate to accommodate the barrel of the male connector on the back.

Q: 9. Will this work with the C500 mk ii if connected to a power supply (not a core swx power supply)?

A: We are not aware of this working with the C500 Mark II.

Q: 10. can you send me a sketch on how I can connect an XLR male mic cable to xlr male mic cable?

A: Switchcraft XLR 3 Pin Female To XLR 3 Pin Female B&H # SW389
