XLR patch cable PSSO 1 m, XLR female to XLR male, black

The PSSO XLR patch cable 1 m is a balanced audio cable with an XLR female connector on one end and an XLR male connector on the other. Designed for low-noise interconnections, this 1‑metre black cable provides standard XLR wiring for joining microphones, mixers, preamplifiers and stage equipment. Its compact length is suitable for patching signals in racks, pedalboards and close-proximity stage setups while maintaining a consistent, balanced signal path for professional audio use.

Advantages

The cable offers a shielded, balanced connection that reduces electromagnetic interference and hum compared to unbalanced alternatives. Built with standard XLR wiring, it ensures reliable pin-to-pin signal transfer and compatibility with a wide range of professional audio devices. The 1 m length minimizes cable clutter in tight setups and the black jacket provides a discreet appearance on stage or in studio environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting microphones to mixers or preamps at short distances
• Patch connections in stage snakes, rack systems and pedalboards
• Linking outboard gear and channel inserts in studio setups
• Broadcast signal routing where balanced audio is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: balanced XLR patch cable
• Connectors: XLR female to XLR male
• Length: 1 metre
• Color: black
• Wiring: standard 3-pin balanced configuration
• Shielding: braided/foil shielding for noise reduction

How to use

Insert the XLR female connector onto the male output of the source device and plug the XLR male connector into the female input of the destination device, ensuring secure, full insertion until the connector latch engages where applicable. Use the cable to carry balanced microphone or line-level signals between equipment; avoid sharp bends, pinching or placing the cable parallel to mains power runs for extended distances to minimize interference. For temporary setups, route the cable along existing cable runs or tie it with Velcro straps to maintain tidy signal paths.

Usage recommendations

For the best audio performance, keep cable runs as short as practical and avoid running the XLR patch cable alongside high-voltage power cables. Periodically inspect connector contacts for dirt or corrosion and replace the cable if shielding or connectors show visible damage.
