Kramer Electronics 10' XLR Male to XLR Female Quad Cable

SKU CH-V4J7-WEQKW

A 10-foot XLR male-to-female quad cable that cancels electromagnetic noise for clean microphone or line-level signals

  • Quad construction cancels electromagnetic noise from lighting and transformers
  • Star-quad twisting reduces induction noise to 10 % of regular balanced cable
  • Highly flexible thanks to many thin copper strands in conductors and shield
  • XLPE insulation gives excellent electrical performance and no shrink-back during soldering
  • Hand-soldered premium XLR connectors ensure reliable professional connections

Professional Audio Cable for Studio Use

The Kramer Electronics 10' XLR Male to XLR Female Quad Cable is built for professional microphone or line-level connections in studio and live sound environments. Its four-conductor star quad construction actively cancels electromagnetically induced noise from sources such as fluorescent lighting ballasts and AC power transformers. Hand-soldered premium XLR connectors ensure a reliable signal path for critical audio applications.

Limits of Balanced Analogue Interconnects

Balanced XLR cables reject common-mode interference but cannot eliminate noise generated inside connected equipment or grounding issues between devices. The quad design reduces external magnetic induction to roughly ten percent of standard two-pair cables yet does not address radio-frequency interference that requires additional shielding or filtering. Cable length adds capacitance that can subtly roll off very high frequencies in high-impedance sources. Users must still maintain proper gain staging and grounding practices throughout the signal chain.

Quad Construction Defines Noise Rejection

The defining specification is the four-conductor star quad geometry with mutually offsetting twisting technology. This arrangement cancels electromagnetic interference far more effectively than conventional twisted-pair balanced cables, making it the decisive factor for environments with heavy lighting dimmers or power transformers. If your installation runs near such noise sources, this topology is the reason to choose this cable over standard balanced alternatives.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 10' XLR quad cable or a shorter length for my desktop mic setup?

The 10' length gives enough slack for a desktop boom arm without excess cable that can tangle; choose a shorter run only if your mixer or interface sits right next to the microphone.

How much quieter is the quad construction compared with a standard balanced cable in a real studio?

The star-quad geometry cancels electromagnetic noise from lighting ballasts and power transformers down to roughly one-tenth of what a regular two-pair balanced cable picks up.

Does the XLR male-to-female connection limit the signal level or frequency response I can run through it?

No — the hand-soldered premium XLR connectors and XLPE-insulated quad conductors pass full mic- or line-level audio without imposing any practical voltage or bandwidth ceiling.
