XLR to XLR cable SSQ XX10 — 10 m length, balanced microphone/instrument cable

Balanced XLR-to-XLR cable SSQ XX10 with a 10 m length is designed for microphone and balanced line connections in studio and live sound environments. The cable features standard male-to-female XLR terminations and an impedance-balanced conductor and shielding to maintain signal integrity over longer runs. It is intended for connecting microphones, preamps, mixers and audio interfaces where a reliable, shielded balanced connection is required.

Advantages

The SSQ XX10 provides a long balanced run without significant degradation of audio quality, reducing hum and interference thanks to its shielding and balanced wiring. Standard XLR connectors ensure compatibility with most professional audio gear. The 10-metre length offers flexibility in stage and studio setups while preserving clear signal transmission for microphones and line-level sources.

Suitable for

• Connecting microphones to mixers, preamps or audio interfaces
• Balanced line connections between outboard equipment and consoles
• Stage and live sound setups requiring longer cable runs
• Studio recording sessions and broadcast applications

Key specifications

• Cable type: balanced XLR to XLR
• Length: 10 metres
• Connectors: male XLR to female XLR
• Shielding: braided or foil shield (balanced construction)
• Conductor configuration: three-core (hot, cold, ground) for balanced audio
• Intended use: microphone and balanced line signals

How to use

Connect the male XLR end to the microphone or output device and the female XLR end to the mixer, preamp or audio interface input. Ensure connectors are fully seated and, if present, engage any locking mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection during use. Route the cable to minimize crossing power lines and to avoid tight bends or kinks that could stress the conductors or shielding. For multiple runs, label both ends to simplify channel identification during setup and teardown.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables for long distances to reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid sharp bends; use cable ties or straps that do not compress the jacket. Inspect connectors regularly for secure contacts and clean contacts if oxidation is observed. Use the balanced XLR connection for sources that support balanced output to take advantage of noise rejection over the 10 m length.
