Cable Matters 6.35mm (1/4 Inch) Short TRS to XLR Cable - 3ft, Male to Male XLR to TRS Cable, Black – Not for Microphone Use

Cable worked exactly for what I needed. I plugged the TRS into my Arturia MiniFreak synthesizer, which only has one output and then the XLR into my Yamaha MG10XU mixer and it sounds great! A nice product for the price that feels very durable.

good product

Prior to ordering this brand, I had never heard of "Cable Matters." Most of the time, I purchase cable and connectors in bulk, and custom-build my own. However, the price of these was hard to pass up. I ordered pairs of the 15 ft. (mixer to interface) and 6 ft. cables (interface to monitors) for my home studio. Each cable was professionally packaged when it arrived. What is striking, at least to me, is the unquestionable thickness of the cable itself. While most on the market are often thin and flimsy, the casing on this cable is built for durability and isolation. For me, this was particularly impressive since these cables are being used in my home recording studio where sound isolation is a HUGE factor! Connectors are firm and well-constructed on both ends. Gold plated TRS ends guarantee connectivity and excellent sound. I dare say, I probably would save almost nothing by trying to replicate these on my own -- they are outstanding in every sense of the word. Initial sound check and demo created flawless sound on recording and playback without exception. No pops, crackles, or hum -- they are perfect. Yeah, you could buy MUCH more expensive cables (pre-made) on the market, but these are a shining example of why you don't have to. As an audiophile and musician, I would highly recommend them without hesitation! Can't get a better deal than this! AWESOME!!

I added an older Sennheiser wireless microphone to my audio equipment and since it did not have the usual XLR output, I wanted a cable to convert the bal/unbal 1/4" output that my receiver offered (many only offer unbal) so I took advantage of the bal opportunity to have a cleaner signal and get the TRS balanced output, converted to a balanced XLR... The cable is a perfect match, for clarity, super quiet connection and overall build quality. Always double check your equipment outputs and inputs, and especially the wiring/ pin assignments, when purchasing equipment and cables meant for specific purposes.

It does what it needs to do. Do i think it will still be working in 5 yrars..no,but it is being used as a portable DJ cable.

This cable is built with quality in mind and it sounds great hooked up to my Mackie Onyx 16 Mixer and Yamaha HS8's I usually don't take the time to give reviews ,but, this is a good cable and I know what its like to search for one. I can say I reccomend this one for build, price, quality and performance! Thank you

Muy util

I have to say I could NOT believe the build quality on this BALANCED XLR to TRS cable for the price. I needed two XLR to TRS cables to run from my M AUDIO C600 Fast Track to my new KRK Rokit 5 speakers. I got the 6 foot option JIC as I may invest in monitor stands, but also felt its a good utilitarian size if they turn out to be beaters. I was wrong. I cannot attest to their durability in a mobile and high usage environment, but for speaker cables that just sit there and never break connection, I am more than happy. Must point out these are 100% BALANCED. As of this review they have not specified this yet. I have a home studio to record scratch guitar tracks for a band I am in, as well as other musical projects, and these cables MORE THAN suffice. I do not fancy myself an audio snob, but when you can get this cable for 10 bucks and it is FAR SUPERIOR to anything from Livewire, or musicians friend/Guitar center house brand, I consider this a win! Cable is flexible, outer coating is not sticky or cheap feeling, definitely a diamond in the rough. Get yours now before this company comes to their senses!

Cavo funzionante alla perfezione!

Does what it should

Used to test a dual wireless microphone into my mixer, all works OK and the cable seems to be of good quality. Recommended.

Faut le job

Does what a cable is supposed to do: 1) is sonically transparent (measured via Motu-M4 loopback). 2) makes a solid secure connection on both ends. I cannot comment on durability and ruggedness.
