XLR Female to RCA Male Cable
This 10ft cable connects professional XLR outputs to consumer RCA inputs. It carries a stereo signal through 16AWG oxygen-free copper conductors arranged as a twisted pair. The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for reliable contact. It suits home-studio owners linking microphones or mixers to audio interfaces or recorders.
Unbalanced Signal Conversion
The cable converts a balanced XLR signal to an unbalanced RCA signal regardless of signal direction. Pin 2 of the XLR connects to the RCA tip while pins 1 and 3 join the RCA shield. This wiring means common-mode noise rejection is lost on the RCA side. Runs near power cables or dimmers may pick up hum that a balanced link would reject.
Shielded Construction and Daily Use
Full-length copper braid provides 97.5% shielding coverage against radio-frequency interference. The 16AWG conductors keep resistance low over the 3.048-metre length. Gold plating on both connectors reduces oxidation during repeated mating cycles. The black jacket is flexible enough for desktop routing but lacks a locking latch on the XLR end, so accidental pulls can disconnect the link.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 10ft length or a shorter cable for my desktop setup?
The 10ft length gives you plenty of reach between rack gear and a desktop interface; choose a shorter run only if your devices sit side by side to avoid excess slack.
What does the 16AWG conductor size mean for signal quality in my studio?
16AWG oxygen-free copper conductors keep resistance low over the full 10ft run, preserving level and detail when you connect balanced XLR outputs to unbalanced RCA inputs.
How does the 97.5% braid shield affect noise rejection on this XLR-to-RCA cable?
The 97.5% copper braid covers the twisted pair along the entire length, blocking RF and mains hum that would otherwise leak into the unbalanced RCA side of the connection.
