25 ft balanced interconnect

This 25-foot XLR male-to-female cable carries balanced audio between professional gear such as mixers, interfaces and powered speakers. The 16 AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated contacts preserve signal integrity over long runs. It suits studio, stage and installed-sound systems that require a low-noise link.

Male-to-female XLR wiring

The cable terminates in a standard three-pin XLR male plug on one end and a matching XLR female socket on the other, enabling direct connection between balanced outputs and inputs without adapters. Molded strain-relief boots protect the solder joints from pulling and flexing during setup and teardown.

7.62 m reach with interference rejection

At 7.62 metres the cable spans typical stage or rack distances while the separate braided shield blocks EM and RF noise before it modulates the signal. The balanced topology prevents ground-loop hum that unbalanced leads introduce. Runs significantly longer than this length may exceed the practical range for line-level signals without active buffering.

Questions about this item

How far can I run the 25 ft cable before signal loss becomes noticeable?

The 25 ft length is designed for extended runs; balanced construction with a separate braided shield resists EM and RF noise to maintain signal integrity over that distance.

What does the 16AWG rating tell me about the cable's current handling for microphone signals?

16AWG stranded copper conductors provide low resistance suitable for balanced microphone and interconnect signals, while gold-plated contacts reduce contact corrosion.

Will the male-to-female XLR connectors fit standard microphone stands and mixer inputs without adapters?

Yes, the cable uses standard 3-pin XLR male-to-female connectors with molded strain relief boots for secure mating with pro audio gear.
