Audio cable CORDIAL 14813 — 6 m, XLR (male) to 6.35 mm (male), black

CORDIAL 14813 is a 6 m analogue audio cable with a 3-pin male XLR connector on one end and a 6.35 mm (1/4") male TRS connector on the other. It is intended for transferring balanced or unbalanced analogue signals between mixers, audio interfaces, instruments and outboard equipment. The cable is finished in black and designed for stage, studio and live sound use.

Advantages

The cable combines standard XLR and 6.35 mm TRS terminations to offer flexible connectivity between professional audio gear. Its 6 m length provides reach for common stage and studio setups while keeping connections tidy. The black finish helps the cable blend into typical stage and studio environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting microphones, DI boxes or preamps to mixers and interfaces (where a TRS to XLR connection is required)
• Linking instruments or line-level outputs to mixers and outboard processors
• Stage and live sound setups as well as studio patching and signal routing

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for analogue signal transfer and does not provide digital audio transmission. It uses a male XLR to male 6.35 mm TRS configuration, so it is not suitable where different connector genders or types (for example female XLR, RCA or 3.5 mm) are required without additional adapters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 6 m
• Connector A: 3-pin male XLR
• Connector B: 6.35 mm (1/4") male TRS
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug the 3-pin male XLR connector into the corresponding female XLR input on a mixer, interface or preamp. Insert the 6.35 mm male TRS plug into the matching 6.35 mm jack on an instrument, line output or processor. Ensure connections are secure before applying signal or power. For balanced operation, use equipment and wiring configured for balanced signals; if used unbalanced, expect potential for increased noise over longer runs.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your devices accept a male XLR to 6.35 mm male TRS cable (check connector types and genders)
• Decide whether you need a balanced connection—both devices must support balanced wiring to take advantage of TRS/XLR balance
• Verify 6 m length is appropriate for your setup; longer runs may require different cable types or noise mitigation

Usage recommendations

For best results on stage or in the studio, route the cable away from power sources and large bundles of mains cables to minimise interference. Use adapters only when necessary and inspect connectors regularly for secure fit and signs of wear.
