Presented here with a cable length of 15'', 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. Can the Kramer VS-4X be used for one input with output to one of four selected outputs? (Signal in opposite direction from the labeled inputs and outputs.)

A: The VS−4X is a high−performance switcher for balanced stereo audio signals on XLR connectors. It switches any one of four stereo signals to a single stereo output.

Q: 2. Are these compatible with Bose AE2? If not, are there cups for that? TY

A: I have a BOSE AE SOUNDLINK 2. The earpads are compatible. They are good but not perfect. I liked them.

Q: 3. would this work well splitting a microphone? Or is it only meant for Line level signals.

A: Yes you can split a microphone using the Sescom SES-XLR-ABC.

Q: 4. Does the docking ports on top of the receiver for the mics charge the handsets?

A: Yes they do. As far as I know, that's the only way they get charged.

Q: 5. Does this convert an unbalanced signal into a balanced signal?

A: Yes it does.

Q: 6. Are you able to replace the cable inside?

A: The XLR cable is not user replaceable.

Q: 7. Since this is passive, it's bidirectional, right? So I can take the signal from XLR line level to an 1/8" video capture input.

A: The Sescom AUD-TRS-BAL 3.5mm Stereo Unbalanced Audio to Dual XLR Balanced Converter Cable has male connectors on the XLR ends (which are used for connection to XLR inputs) and converts an unbalanced 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo output signal to a balanced XLR input signal, so it would not work. As an option for connecting dual XLR line output to an 1/8" (3.5mm) line input, you can use a standard Y-cable like the Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Angled Male to Two 3-Pin XLR Female Y-Cable - 1' (B&H # HOYCSMMR2XF1). If the 1/8" (3.5mm) input is a mic-level input, you can use a level-matching cable like the Sescom Attenuating Line to Mic Level Cable - TRS Male to Female XLR, 18" (B&H # SES43DBMZ2XJ), which will convert the line-level signal to mic level.

Q: 8. Can this be used to switch a single input (a DAC) between two outputs (headphone amp, main rig amp)?

A: Hi Michael: I don't see why it would be a problem since the unit is passive and has no internal electronics to contend with. You may hear a slight pop when switching between your two output sources and might have to mute or reduce the volume of the unit that you are switching to .Hope this helps.Rick

Q: 9. I want to run my iPhone to our church sound system. Can I use a lightning to 1/8" adaptor and then the Switchcraft 318 to go to xlr and get a good signal?

A: Yes, the Switchcraft AudioStix Stereo 3.5mm Female to Balanced Mono XLR Male Adapter is a good solution for converting a stereo 3.5mm signal connection from an iPhone to mono XLR output for connection to a sound system.

Q: 10. Has this been tested on any of the iPad Pros with the USB-C port?

A: There is no evidence that this product has been tested with i Pad Pros. Suggest contacting the manufacturer before buying: Website http://www.comica-audio.com/ Email support@comica-audio.com
