Connection type
This Monoprice 104769 cable connects XLR female to 1/4in TRS male for balanced pro audio signals. It suits studio recording, live sound and broadcast setups that need interference-free links between microphones, mixers or instruments. The balanced design keeps noise out of the signal path.
Shielding and interference
A separate braided shield adds resistance to electromagnetic interference without modulating that interference into the audio signal. The construction prevents ground loop issues that can cause hum in multi-device rigs. Gold-plated contacts maintain clean conductivity over repeated plug cycles.
Cable length
The cable measures 1.8288 metres end to end, giving a fixed reach for rack-to-floor or stage-to-mixer runs. Buyers who need a longer or shorter link should choose a different length because this model cannot be adjusted.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the XLR female and 1/4in TRS male ends correctly?
Match pin 2 of the XLR to the tip of the TRS plug and pin 3 to the ring; the sleeve connects to the braided shield. People often swap tip and ring, which reverses polarity on balanced gear.
Will the gold-plated contacts or braided shield need replacement over time?
The gold plating resists oxidation; the braided shield is fixed inside the jacket. Only physical damage to the 1.8288 m cable or connectors would require a new cable.
At what cable length does signal loss become noticeable on this 16 AWG balanced run?
At 1.8288 m the 16 AWG conductors keep resistance very low; audible loss does not appear until runs are many times longer than this length.
