XLR to XLR Audio Cable SSQ XX1, 1 m, balanced microphone/line cable

SSQ Cable XX1 is a 1-metre XLR-to-XLR balanced microphone and line cable engineered for reliable, low-noise audio connections. The cable uses standard male and female three-pin XLR terminations to provide secure mechanical and electrical contact between microphones, mixers, audio interfaces and studio or stage equipment. Its balanced wiring reduces interference and preserves signal clarity for live sound, recording and broadcast applications.

Advantages

The balanced design minimizes hum and electromagnetic interference, delivering a cleaner audio path compared with unbalanced leads. Robust XLR connectors ensure a secure latch and consistent contact during setup and performance. The 1 m length offers a compact connection option that reduces cable clutter and signal loss for close-proximity routing. The cable is compatible with both microphone- and line-level signals, making it a versatile choice for multiple audio environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting microphones to mixers or audio interfaces
• Patch connections between outboard processors, preamps and consoles
• Stage and live sound setups where short balanced runs are required
• Recording, podcasting and broadcast signal chains

Key specifications

• Cable type: balanced XLR-to-XLR
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector configuration: 3-pin male to 3-pin female XLR
• Signal compatibility: microphone and line-level
• Shielding: braided or foil shield to reduce interference (balanced construction)

How to use

Connect the female XLR end to the microphone or the output device and the male XLR end to the mixer, preamplifier or audio interface input. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to prevent accidental disconnection. When routing the cable, avoid running parallel to mains power runs for long distances to reduce potential interference. For best results, use the cable within its 1 m length to maintain signal integrity in professional and consumer audio setups.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors before use and keep contacts clean to maintain reliable low-noise performance. For fixed installations, route and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors; for portable setups, coil the cable using an over-under technique to preserve cable geometry and longevity.
