XLR (3-pin) female to 3.5 mm TRS stereo jack cable SSQ XLRMi0.5 0.5 m, balanced, 85Ω ±5Ω, 2×0.23 mm², black

Balanced XLR (3-pin) female to 3.5 mm TRS stereo jack cable SSQ XLRMi0.5, 0.5 m. Constructed with copper conductors (2×0.23 mm²) and polyethylene (PE) shielding, the cable has an outer diameter of 6 mm and impedance of 85Ω ±5Ω. The female XLR connector to male 3.5 mm TRS connection is intended for linking microphones, audio interfaces and mixers where a balanced-to-unbalanced or TRS connection is required. The cable is black and includes a cable protector.

Advantages

The cable provides a short, shielded balanced connection with low-impedance characteristic suitable for audio signal integrity. Its compact 0.5 m length and 6 mm outer diameter make it convenient for close-proximity connections without excess slack. Durable copper conductors and PE shielding reduce interference, while the included cable protector helps prevent strain at the connectors.

Suitable for

• Connecting microphones with XLR outputs to devices with 3.5 mm TRS inputs
• Linking audio interfaces or mixers to TRS stereo jacks
• Short balanced-to-unbalanced audio connections in studio or live setups

How to use

Insert the female XLR connector onto the XLR output of the microphone or source, and plug the male 3.5 mm TRS jack into the TRS input of the receiving device. Ensure connections are secure and avoid sharp bends near the connector ends. For balanced-to-unbalanced connections, check the input device wiring and level settings to prevent level mismatch or phase issues.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m cable for short runs where minimal cable length is preferred. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid excessive twisting or pulling. Verify device compatibility with a TRS stereo jack before connecting; when connecting to unbalanced inputs, confirm correct wiring and levels.
