XLR Male to Female Interconnect
The Monoprice 118673 is a balanced audio cable designed for microphones and professional interconnects. It serves musicians, broadcasters and home-audio enthusiasts who need a reliable link between XLR-equipped gear. Gold-plated connectors and 16AWG stranded copper conductors deliver clean signal transfer. Molded strain-relief boots protect the termination points during repeated setup and teardown.
Upgrade from Unbalanced RCA Runs
Balanced impedance lines reduce EM and RF noise while extending the effective range of the cable run. A separate braided shield provides interference resistance without modulating that interference into the signal. This design prevents ground-loop issues that commonly affect unbalanced RCA interconnects. The jump is worth it whenever a longer, noise-free connection is required between professional audio devices.
Ten-Foot Reach with 16AWG Headroom
At 10 feet the cable comfortably spans stage positions, studio racks or home-theatre components without excessive slack. The 16AWG stranded copper conductors handle typical microphone-level and line-level signals with ample current headroom. It runs out when the installation demands runs significantly longer than 3.048 metres or when a different connector type such as 3.5mm or 2.5mm is required.

Questions about this item
What connectors does the 118673 cable use for microphone or interconnect hook-up?
The cable has a 3-pin XLR male plug on one end and an XLR female socket on the other, both with gold-plated contacts.
How do I install the cable without damaging the 16AWG conductors?
Push each connector straight in until the latch clicks; do not twist the cable because the molded strain-relief boot is designed to absorb bend stress at the joint.
Will the braided shield on this balanced cable need periodic replacement?
The shield is permanently bonded inside the jacket, so no user-serviceable parts exist; Monoprice covers the assembly with a lifetime warranty.
