XLR Microphone Cable 100 ft Yellow - Balanced Male to Female

In this review the LyxPro 100 ft XLR microphone cable is evaluated for live sound and recording use; it is aimed at musicians, sound techs, and venues that need a long, reliable run with low noise. The single biggest reason to buy is the cable's high level of noise rejection thanks to a 98% braided shield and cotton yarn wrap, which consistently produced clean, hum-free signals when tested between microphones, mixers and powered speakers.

Key Features

• Balanced XLR construction: Maintains clear, low-noise signal transmission for microphones and mixer outputs over long runs.
• 98% braided shield: Exceptional rejection of electromagnetic interference, making it reliable on stage and in studio environments.
• 24 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper: Provides stable conductivity and improved high-frequency response for more natural sound.
• Gold-plated contacts: Corrosion-resistant connectors reduce contact noise and preserve signal integrity over time.
• Durable connectors and strain relief: Metal housings with self-locking connectors hold securely and stand up to road use.
• Visible color for cable management: The yellow jacket simplifies routing and identification in complex stage or studio setups.

Who It's For

This cable is best suited for live sound engineers, touring musicians, houses of worship, and rehearsal studios that need long runs between stage and FOH or between mixers and powered speakers. The 100 ft length and heavy shielding are especially useful in venues where runs cross lighting runs or power lines.

Those who need ultra-compact or ultra-light hobbyist cables for short desktop recording sessions might find this 100 ft professional cable beyond their needs; for short home recording, a shorter length is more practical and easier to store.
