Monoprice XLR to 1/4in TRS Cable
This balanced audio cable connects professional equipment with an XLR male connector on one end and a 1/4in TRS male connector on the other. It uses 16AWG conductors and gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. The 15-foot length suits studio and stage runs. A braided shield adds interference resistance.
For balanced pro audio connections
Musicians, engineers and installers wiring microphones, mixers, interfaces or powered speakers will find the XLR-to-TRS layout matches standard balanced I/O. The separate braided shield helps prevent ground-loop hum. Users needing unbalanced TS connectors, XLR-to-XLR runs or shorter patch lengths should choose a different cable.
Simple plug-and-play installation
Push each connector firmly until it locks or seats fully; no tools or drivers are required. Route the cable away from power cords to minimise induced noise. The most common issue is a loose 1/4in jack causing intermittent contact — ensure the TRS plug clicks into the socket. Inspect the braided shield periodically for crush damage.

Questions about this item
Do I need an XLR output and a 1/4in TRS input on my existing gear for this cable to work?
Yes, one end is an XLR male connector and the other is a 1/4in TRS male connector, so your source must provide an XLR output and your destination must accept a 1/4in TRS input.
Will the 16AWG balanced construction still reject noise if I run it next to older unbalanced instrument cables?
The cable uses a separate braided shield and balanced wiring designed to prevent ground loops and reject interference even when routed near unbalanced lines.
How can I confirm the balanced connection is working correctly after I plug it in?
Listen for a clean signal with no hum or buzz; a properly balanced link will stay quiet when you move the cable or touch the connectors.
