Microphone Cable Roland RMC-B20 — symmetrical high-quality XLR connectors, 3-pin balanced audio cable

Roland RMC-B20 is a symmetrical microphone cable with high-quality 3-pin XLR connectors designed for balanced audio transmission. It provides a stable connection between microphones, mixers, audio interfaces and stage equipment. The cable construction reduces electromagnetic interference and preserves signal integrity across short and medium cable runs, making it suitable for live sound, studio recording, broadcast and rehearsal environments.

Advantages

The cable uses balanced wiring and robust XLR connectors to minimise noise and hum, delivering clear audio with consistent impedance. Durable outer jacket and strain relief at the connector ends increase mechanical reliability during frequent handling and patching. The neutral sonic character maintains the original microphone signal without altering tonal balance, and the secure latch on the XLR plugs ensures a solid connection on stage or in the studio.

Suitable for

• Connecting dynamic and condenser microphones to mixers and preamps
• Stage and live sound reinforcement patching
• Studio recording and tracking sessions
• Broadcast setups and podcast recording
• Rehearsal rooms and portable rigs

Key specifications

• Connector type: 3-pin XLR male-to-female, balanced
• Cable construction: symmetrical/balanced audio pair with drain/ground
• Conductor material: high-conductivity copper cores
• Outer jacket: flexible, abrasion-resistant insulation
• Shielding: foil and/or braid to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Impedance: low and consistent for microphone-level signals
• Length category: short to medium runs (compact stage and studio use)

How to use

Insert the female XLR connector into the microphone output and attach the male XLR connector to the input of a mixer, preamplifier or audio interface until the latch clicks. Route the cable away from power lines and large transformers to minimise hum and interference. When disconnecting, press the connector latch and pull straight out; avoid excessive twisting to preserve the strain relief. Coil the cable using an over-under technique for storage to extend service life and prevent internal conductor stress.

Usage recommendations

The cable is intended for microphone-level, balanced audio connections. For longest life, avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and exposure to moisture. Use proper cable management on stage and in studios to keep connectors clean and ensure reliable performance.
