sakose MICPH-6 6 ft instrument cable 1/4" stereo to 3-pin XLR male 16AWG 97.5% shielded

Professional audio interconnect

The sakose MICPH-6 is a 6 ft instrument cable built for stage and studio use. It connects a 1/4 inch stereo phone plug to a 3-pin XLR male, carrying balanced signals between microphones, mixers and interfaces. Musicians and engineers who need a single, ready-to-run link will find the length practical for typical rack-to-floor or stand-to-desk runs.

Balanced line limits

The 16AWG stranded copper conductors and 97.5% shielding keep noise low on balanced connections, but the cable cannot fix ground-loop hum caused by mismatched power circuits. Length is fixed at 6 ft, so longer stage runs or permanent installs will require additional cable or a different length. The stereo phone plug carries two conductors plus ground; it will not carry a mono TS signal without an adapter.

Build and daily handling

Black PVC jacket protects the 16AWG stranded cores and dense braid during repeated coiling. Both connectors are male, so the cable plugs directly into a microphone or DI output and a mixer or interface input without gender changers. The 3-pin XLR latch secures against accidental pulls, while the 1/4 inch plug seats firmly in standard jacks. No strain-relief boots are mentioned, so careful unplugging extends service life.
