16AWG Bulk Microphone Cable

Monoprice 105978 is a 100-foot reel of professional microphone bulk cable designed for custom audio installations. It uses two 16AWG high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors with a braided copper shield providing 97.5 percent coverage and a single drain wire. Each conductor is color-coded PVC jacketed within an 8.0mm overall diameter.

Installers building balanced

This cable suits technicians and installers who need to terminate their own XLR, TRS, or TS connectors for balanced mono or unbalanced stereo patch cables. The bulk format provides cost-effective length for permanent runs or multiple assemblies. Buyers requiring pre-terminated cables with connectors already fitted should select a finished patch cable assembly instead.

16AWG conductor gauge

The 16AWG conductor size determines the cable's current-carrying capacity and mechanical durability for microphone-level signals. Thicker gauges offer lower resistance for very long runs, while thinner gauges increase flexibility for tight patching. Verify that 16AWG matches the electrical and physical requirements of your specific wiring project before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 16AWG conductors work with my existing XLR connectors?

Yes, 16AWG is a standard gauge for professional microphone cable and fits common XLR solder cups without modification.

How can I confirm the braided shield is intact after I terminate the ends?

Use a multimeter to check continuity between the drain wire and the shield at both ends; a solid reading confirms the 97.5 percent coverage braid is unbroken.

Does the 100-foot spool include connectors or heat-shrink, or must I buy them separately?

The spool contains only the raw 8.0mm black cable with two colour-coded PVC-jacketed conductors and a single drain wire; all connectors and insulation must be purchased separately.
