50 ft XLR Microphone Cable
The Monoprice 118677 is a 50 foot balanced audio cable with gold plated XLR male to XLR female connectors. It uses 16AWG stranded copper conductors and features molded strain relief boots. The cable is designed for professional audio interconnects such as microphones, broadcast gear and entertainment systems.
Suited for long balanced runs
This cable suits users who need a 50 foot balanced connection with a separate braided shield to reduce EM and RF noise and prevent ground loop issues. It is not for installations requiring 3.5mm or 2.5mm stereo connectors, nor for runs that demand a different wire gauge or a shorter length than 50 feet.
50 feet of balanced headroom
The 16AWG conductors and impedance balanced lines comfortably handle extended cable runs up to the full 50 foot length while maintaining signal integrity. The separate braided shield adds interference resistance without modulating noise into the signal. Runs longer than 50 feet exceed the length this specific cable provides.

Questions about this item
What equipment do I need to connect with the 16AWG XLR male and female connectors?
You need devices that accept standard three-pin XLR plugs — such as microphones, mixing consoles, audio interfaces, or powered speakers — to make use of the male and female ends on this cable.
Will the 50 ft balanced design work with older unbalanced gear I still use?
Yes, the cable carries a balanced signal, but you can connect it to older unbalanced equipment using appropriate XLR-to-TS or XLR-to-RCA adapters; the separate braided shield still helps reject interference on the balanced portion of the run.
How can I verify the 16AWG conductors and gold-plated contacts are functioning after I plug it in?
Pass audio through the link and listen for a clean, noise-free signal; the balanced topology and gold-plated pins should deliver low hum and reliable contact across the full 50 ft length.
