Presented here with a cable length of 50'', 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.

Q: 1. 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.

Q: 2. Can I connect a mixer's phone stereo out to the 3.5mm female and use XLR to TRS female adapter to convert headphones to mono?

A: Yes you can connect the headphone output of a mixer into the 1/8'' input on the Switchcraft AudioStix adapter.

Q: 3. How is volume projected without speakers? Do I need to purchase speakers or sound amplifiers?

A: Yes, you need speakers to project the sound. You can purchase speakers that are already amplified so you can just plug and play. You can also us a sound board or even a DJ mixer like I do

Q: 4. Is the image outdated? The SESCOM site shows a recessed A/B switch and these images show the older style and accident prone A/B switch.

A: Yes, the image on Sescom's website does show the current version of the SES-XLR-AB which was recently updated with a recessed A/B switch. We will post the updated image to our website to show the current version of this item.

Q: 5. Can it be used to switch between two AES/EBU inputs?

A: Hi Andrzej, Thanks for inquiring. This switch can switch two AES/EBU signals. Since it's a passive switch, it won't be seamless switching, and there will be a dropout in the signal while switching, but it should otherwise work for you.

Q: 6. Does the switch pop when switching output in live PA situation?

A: Hi Kevin. There will in all likelihood be an audible click or pop from the switch itself when depressed. However, as a passive device, whether that noise would bleed into the signal would depend on what is connected, according to our engineers, and there is no way to really tell what noise would come through the signal beforehand. I hope this is helpful. Thank you!

Q: 7. 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: 8. 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: 9. 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

Q: 10. Does it come in a case?

A: When I purchased this set, it came in a box with styrofome. No bag. Also, I don't consider this unit to be portable since the base unit isn't small, so I wouldn't expect a bag to come with it.
