Hosa 6 ft XLR Quad-Core Cable

The Hosa XLR microphone cable is a balanced 3-pin interconnect built for professional audio applications. It uses quad-core twisted conductors with dual aluminium-foil and copper-braid shielding to reject electromagnetic interference. Oxygen-free copper conductors and a nylon-braided jacket provide durability for studio, stage and broadcast use.

Upgrade from standard 3-conductor XLR

Compared with typical three-conductor XLR cables, the four-conductor twisted-pair design delivers higher signal levels, improved signal-to-noise ratio, wider frequency response and lower distortion. The jump is worth it when cable runs pass near lighting dimmers, power supplies or RF sources that induce hum and buzz on lesser-shielded leads.

Suits engineers needing low-noise balanced links

This cable suits recording engineers, live-sound technicians and broadcasters who require reliable, noise-free connections between microphones, preamps, mixers and processors. Buyers who need unbalanced instrument cables, digital AES/EBU looms or multi-channel snakes should look at other cable types.

Questions about this item

What is the cable length and connector type needed to connect my microphone to a mixer?

The cable is 6 feet long and has a 3-pin XLR male connector on one end and a 3-pin XLR female connector on the other.

How do I ensure a secure connection when plugging this XLR cable into my audio interface?

Align the keyway on the metal connector with the notch on the jack, push firmly until the latch clicks, and press the release tab when unplugging to avoid damaging the pins.

Will the braided nylon jacket hold up to repeated coiling for mobile recording sessions?

Yes, the nylon braided shell is designed for flexibility and elasticity, resisting tangles and protecting the internal quad-core conductors during frequent winding and transport.
