Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use these for both audio and lighting?

It may or may not work depending on the DMX signal and the lighting fixture, but the type of wire used inside differs.

Can I connect my mixer's main out to a DSP Processor using this cable?

These XLR cables are of excellent quality. You should be able to use XLR with any application that allows you to do so. br>I'd look into your DSP data for any distance restrictions.

Is the wiring a certain gauge?

Most microphone cables are made of 21 gauge.

I need to make 8 short cables that are male and female. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a large roll of toilet paper. Is it possible for me to disassemble this cable and solder my own connectors?

To be sure! Cable is cable, and this particular cable is of a reasonable quality. Because I'm lazy, I've just ordered 6', 10', 12', and 15' cable lengths in the past.

Selected User Reviews For GLS Audio 50ft Mic Cable Patch Cords - XLR Male to XLR Female Black Microphone Cables - 50' Balanced Mike Snake Cord - Single

Cables are outstanding
4/5

Noise pickup has never been an issue, and the only drawback is strain relief. These can be used to connect a microphone or a mixer to an amp. Every week, I set up at various short-term jobs. The cables have never picked up hum or noise, and the connectors are adequate but not exceptional. The cable is a braided shield, but it is of poor quality. After all, you aren't paying top dollar for a cable that doesn't pick up noise; in the end, if it doesn't pick up noise, it is adequate. Because they aren't the thickest insulation, I wouldn't use them in areas where they will be stepped on frequently. The strain relief is the weak point; however, if you need that level of quality, you'll have to pay 2 or 3 times the price. Compression strain relief isn't my favorite, but for the price, it's a great deal. You should be able to get a lot of use if you use caution and grab the XLR's body when pulling it out.

It's astonishment-inspiring
5/5

For the money, these are excellent cables. Sure, they're not Canare, but they're a fraction of the cost, and they're not much worse! They use Neutrik-type antibiotics that are available over-the-counter. XLR connectors in the style of the 1960s. You wouldn't know they weren't Neutrik without looking at them closely. In general, I was blown away. It's useful to have on hand for utility or personal use on rare occasions. I'm not sure how well they'd hold up in day-to-day production, but why pay for high-end cables if you only use them once in a while? These are ideal for those who only need a cable on occasion and don't want to spend a lot of money. I am ecstatic.

Cables are fantastic! I recently purchased a pair of new EV Powered speakers and required some long XLR cables in order to use them in almost any situation
5/5

I've had GLS cables in the past, and I still have a lot of them. Guitar Center carries the same line, and if anything goes wrong (short, break, etc. ), they'll replace it with a brand new one if you're a loyal customer. I've brought a few back in the past, despite the fact that I use them a lot and they take a lot of abuse. What's the secret to never-ending cords? Don't skimp on the materials and make sure they're properly rolled and stored! br>This is especially true for cords that are longer! They have a "memory" of how they like to be rolled up, and if you stick to it every time you put them away, they'll last a long time. The actual cables and XLR connectors on these are well built, and I've had no trouble connecting them to my $2400 speakers. (Because of a faulty clip, the male end of a cheap cable would barely come out. ) br>Pick these up; you can't go wrong for the price, and if they go bad for any reason, just return to GC if you're a regular customer.

I'm more than pleased
5/5

I bought this two-pack of 100-foot mic cable patch cords after reading so many positive reviews. Many of the cables purchased in 1976 were replaced with these for my church's sound system. We had recently installed additional monitor speakers, so the old cables were cut in half and used for them. I replaced four monitor speaker cables, three interconnecting cables, and five microphone cables with the 200 feet of mic cable (and four XLR connectors). I divided the 200 feet into four sections. The cables are 15 feet long and 7 feet wide. All of the cables are 20 feet long and have soldered XLR connectors. Each cable was thoroughly examined and found to be in perfect working order. Because they were slightly thinner and more flexible than the previous cables, the GLS Audio Mic Cables were easier to work with. My only criticism is that the cables still have a "twist" to them, but this will be resolved over time (after all, how long had they been coiled before I got them?). The four monitor speaker cables were laid out on the floor and lay perfectly flat, twist-free; overall, I'm very pleased with these cables.

This product is being used in the home to connect a phantom microphone amplifier that is being used to measure the acoustics of a room in order to EQ multiple subwoofers
5/5

This patch cord does not have the look or feel of a professional grade patch cord that can be laid out on a sound stage and forgotten about. br>br>I consider this to be a well-made, budget-minded patch cord best used in a home where normal home-based care will be given to this product. This patch cord does not have a commercial-grade feel to it, in my opinion. sturdiness If used on a commercial sound stage, be aware that it may not be able to withstand the abuse, but if used for a weekend show, I'm sure it would be fine. br>br>Overall, if used in the home, this cable has the appearance and feel of a product that would fit right in with our home theater setup. How many times can this patch cord be run over by the wheels of heavy packing cases or tripped on before in line static occurs due to normal, interior line breakage, is my concern. br>br>The connections are tight, pressed, and snap-in for home use. Rather than heavy-duty molded fittings, connector covers are used. When I inspect the connections, I notice that they are all uniformly tight and free of flaws. However, because the cable is not molded in this case, it can be pulled out of the casing if someone trips over it. Although there is no reason to believe this will occur, if this product is used professionally on a sound stage, users should be aware of the possibility. br>br>In general, with a delivered price of approximately $0. This is a fantastic deal that I am confident in recommending at $50 per foot. I hope the information above is useful in making your purchase.

These are the best prices you'll find
5/5

These cables are difficult to beat in terms of price vs. performance. It costs $35 at the nearby music store. 00 for ONE (1) 25-foot XLR cord, with TWO (2) 50-foot cords included in the price. You figure it out for yourself. I'm a self-employed individual. I can be more creative with where I place the speakers with these cables because there is still some slack. They're well-made and designed to last even when used on the road. "Shut up and take my money," as they say in the industry. These are the best prices you'll find. And, thanks to Amazon's quick shipping, you'll have them in time for your next gig, so go ahead and order them - These XLR cords will exceed your expectations in terms of quality, functionality, and price.
