Monoprice 118670 XLR Male to Female 1.5 ft 16AWG

Monoprice 118670 XLR interconnect

The Monoprice 118670 is a 1.5 ft XLR male to XLR female cable built with 16AWG stranded copper conductors. It serves microphone, instrument or balanced line-level connections in studio, stage or home audio setups. Gold-plated contacts and moulded strain relief boots protect the terminations. The balanced design uses a separate braided shield to reject EM and RF noise without modulating interference into the signal path.

Check connector gender and cable length

Verify that your source device presents an XLR female socket and your destination device accepts an XLR male plug before ordering. The 1.5 ft length suits rack-adjacent patches or short desktop runs; measure the actual path including strain relief clearance to ensure the reach is adequate. No tools are required for installation, so the cable can be swapped quickly during a session.

Build quality and daily handling

The Stage Right series uses a rugged black jacket over 16AWG stranded copper for flexibility and durability. Gold-plated pins resist oxidation over repeated mating cycles. Moulded boots absorb bending stress at the solder joints, reducing the chance of intermittent contact when cables are routed around gear or coiled for transport. The balanced topology with dedicated braided shield helps prevent ground-loop hum in multi-device systems.
