Procab XLR to XLR Audio Cable 0.5 m Black (CLA901/0.5)

Procab XLR to XLR Audio Cable 0.5 m Black (CLA901/0.5) is a balanced audio patch cable designed for short, reliable connections in professional audio environments. With a compact 0.5 m length and durable black jacket, this cable is suitable for patching microphones, connecting outboard gear and linking channels on mixers where a short, high-quality connection is required. The balanced XLR to XLR configuration reduces noise and interference, preserving signal integrity for both live sound and studio applications.

Advantages

The cable offers a short, low-capacitance connection that minimizes signal loss and hum in balanced audio systems. Rugged connectors and a flexible but robust outer jacket provide durability for frequent patching and stage use, while the balanced XLR wiring helps maintain clear audio with reduced susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. Its compact length makes it convenient for tidy setups and short-distance interconnections.

Suitable for

• Short patching between microphones and preamps
• Connecting outboard processors to mixer channels
• Stage patchbays and short-run live audio connections
• Studio setups requiring minimal cable length to reduce clutter

Key specifications

• Connector type: Male XLR to Female XLR (balanced)
• Length: 0.5 meters
• Cable jacket color: Black
• Construction: Shielded balanced pair for noise rejection
• Typical use: Professional audio signal transmission for low-noise short runs

How to use

Connect the male XLR end to the output device (for example, a microphone or an outboard unit) and the female XLR end to the input device (such as a mixer channel or preamplifier). Ensure connectors are fully seated and, if present, lock any latching mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection. Route the cable to avoid running parallel to power lines or other potential sources of interference, and keep bends gentle to preserve cable life and maintain consistent audio performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use this 0.5 m Procab XLR to XLR cable where a short, direct connection is needed. Inspect connectors periodically for wear, avoid excessive pulling on the cable, and replace the cable if shielding or connector integrity is compromised. When setting up multiple cables, route balanced audio cables separately from mains power to further reduce noise.
