Monoprice XLR Male to 1/4-Inch TRS Male Cable - Gold Plated, High Fidelity and Eliminate Noise in the Recording Studio and On Stage, 16AWG, 6 Feet, Black, 6Ft

thick, strong , cables working fine on my setup..

10/01

cant beat balanced xlr cables, have them running from my KRK RP5 G5's to motu m2 interface. sounds amazing

excellent cable great quality with my reference monitor

These cables have a nice design, are pretty thick and good value, but the conductors are not 16 AWG. I unscrewed the connectors and measured the small wires with calipers. I measured 1.6mm, just the same as a mogami gold cable that is advertised as 24 AWG (2534 cable), except the mogami gold is quad so it has four of these wires instead of two for the monoprice. The monoprice is thicker on the outside, at 8mm instead of 6mm for the mogami, but that is all due to thicker outer insulation. The quality of the soldering on the monoprice is also not great, one of the cables I got had burnt insulators visible once you unscrewed the connectors, leaving the wire exposed inside the connector, which could create a short if things were to move a bit in there. This will do the job in many cases but for the next ones I think I'll look at worlds best cable that seems to be a step up with the Canare L-4E6S or Mogami 2534 cables and Neutrik connectors. Mogami is generally recommended in the studio for best shielding and lowest resistance / capacitance, while Canare has the best durability with their braided shields, making them a better option for live use.

Thick cables and the black and gold plus the springs as sleeving give a premium feel. Both ends of the cable are visible in my setup and these look good and do the job

CAbles are hard to come buy anywere, unless you live close to guitar center. These don't seem much different. Still working today.

Worked perfectly for speakers to mixer!!
