The Custom Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable from Planet Waves is a balanced microphone cable designed for connecting mics to audio interfaces, preamps, mixers, wall panels, and more. It can also be used for line-level interconnection between outboard gear, mixing consoles, and active monitors.

The cable features a straight, 3-pin XLR male plug on one end and a straight, 3-pin XLR female plug on the other. The encapsulated soldering points and double-molded, strain-relief plugs provide durability and reliability. 24kt gold-plated plugs deliver dependable contact, optimum signal flow, and corrosion resistance. The oxygen-free copper conductors yield low capacitance, ensuring signal transparency. Custom Series cables have dual-layer shielding, which provides 100% coverage for maximized insulation and noise rejection.
