XLR Female to 1/4" TRS Balanced Cable

What it is

A balanced adapter cable with a 3-pin XLR female plug on one end and a 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS male plug on the other. It takes the signal from a microphone or any XLR output and feeds a balanced TRS input on a mixer, audio interface, recorder or effects unit. The tip carries the hot signal, the ring carries the cold signal and the sleeve carries the shield, so the line stays balanced when the input is balanced.

It uses the same twisted-pair cable as our XLR microphone cable, so the two can be sold as a matched range.

Who it's for

• Music retailers and distributors who need the "XLR to jack" cable that customers ask for every week.
• Creator brands bundling a microphone with a cable for interfaces that only have TRS inputs.
• Studios and schools standardizing their patching cables.
