GLS Audio 25 foot Mic Cable Patch Cords - XLR Male to XLR Female Black Microphone Cables - 25' Balanced Mic Snake Cord - Single

These are well made cables - on par with most any name brand you'd get at the same, or even double (likely double) the price at GC (and without the attitude, at least in my Baltimore area) or other brick and mortars that only stock a single "use it for one gig until you can order something that'll last, not crackle, stay plugged in properly, etc..." Brands like CBI (their custom shop makes good products - the normal line is overpriced) , monoprice, fender (talk about relying on name recognition to sell a product - bought a case of California cables a few years ago to have some backups. didnt care about losing when loaned out. I would've been better, well, not doing that....), Hosa (ugh.), Pyle (ugh.), Momster (you can get a good Monster cable, but most are an overpriced rip-off, so much so, I won't purchase them if they were the only option I had - Id roll my own out of spare parts and have a good chan of having a better cables than a monster 100 or 500, and not so fat is diameter to try and convince noobs they price is worth the build. --- uh, no...) or 100 others) . The only brands that universally beat the GLS are high-end (with a price to go with them) Mogami, Spectraflex (for live use - had great luck with superior longevity ), and Canare (my personal studio choice - everything in my studio is outfitted with canare with a few Mogami that suit certain mics better that other brands. Cables are, no questions asked, the #1 most expensive item in my studio and I own a very well appointed studio (no low or mid range stuff in there, I am an engineer by trade)-- cables make a huge difference in so many areas. Im sure there are other decent names, but these are the ones Ive had experience with, and when. find something that works, I stick with it unless there is a compelling sonic reason to change. In other words 1) for the price and 2) in live use - the GLS cables can't be beat. Consistent quality across the 6 I received. I appreciate the color ring near each connector (rather than rainbow cables, which are great for the back of a rack in the dark, but distracting in a high end visual presentation) to quickly identify the cable you are working on . I bundled the 6 cables i ordered into a stage snake, hitting the sax mics, keyboards, talkback mics, etc on the front line in one easy run - so that little extra visual ident helps when it's hard to see the labels. I Wouldnt hesitate to buy again (this is not my first GLS purchase - they are a better build than the Seismic audio brand that offers similar looking offerings for a little less (: they're cheaper for a reason :) --- advice: spend the couple extra bucks on the GLS and don't worry about the cold solder joints or other QC issues that come with the Seismic cables (which I tried on a whim, but now live in the emergency one-time use only bin.)

For the longest time, I have been looking into investing some money into getting some nice long XLR cables. I do mainly field recording, and I never really know how a setup is going to look or where I am going to be allowed to go and establish my 'base camp.' Being so, length is important to me, and I have just been barely getting by on the short stuff. My pushing point was when I was asked to record a local DCA Drum and Bugle Corps, and a college fraternity's spring music recital. So I set out to find a good deal with some good quality. Long story short, I set off to Amazon to compare different brands and price ranges. Eventually, I came across these cables offered by GLS audio. Needless to say, I had never heard of them, but they did offer a few things that caught my eye: 1) the price, 2) cable connector end style, 3) the length I needed, and 4) option of colors. The only thing they were lacking was a bunch of consumer reviews to increase their credibility (hopefully solve that today =) ). I consulted Google on the matter, and couldn't find anything negative about them. I also found their website, and although not the fanciest thing on the net, seemed credible. So, I took the risk (I'm not one for buying things without a ton of reviews) and made my order for the colored, 100' six pack of XLR cables. A few days later, I got them in a well packaged box, and set about my evaluation. First impressions were great! I was pleased to see that each cable came with 2 Velcro straps holding it together that I could reuse in the future. As I picked the cable up and began to feel its insulated shielding for texture and flexibility, I was pleased to recall feelings of more expensive cables I have bought in the past which still serve me well to this day. They weren't stiff at all, and had a nice supple feel. Next I looked at the cable ends. Cable ends are nothing to take for granted, they make a huge difference. The last thing I wanted was some cheap-o end that would shift in the XLR port and caused a sporadic scratchy connection, or pins that would oxidize up in my equipment. I was pleased to see that these were no such connections. In fact, they resembled almost to a 'T' Neutrik XLR ends (which are the best kind of XLR ends in my opinion). Really, its not worth getting XLR cables without them. They make a world of difference in connection stability. They have a nice tight connection and a little rubber grommet that keeps them from shifting even the tiniest bit when hooked up. Having owned Neutrik XLR ends, I can say that though these are an imitation of that brand, they are nearly identical. The only difference that I can see that may make a difference over time is that the internal pins appear to be a (ever so) slightly different metal. Will an oxidation factor come into play here? Too soon to tell, but I'm gonna go with no because they still look pretty darn good. And though time has not yet become a factor on this, the ends do look pretty solid on the cables themselves. So with all this, that leaves line noise as the next big question. Would they suck? Would they hiss? Would they rumble? Well, like the words printed on the cable sides, I have so far found them to be "Noise-Free." I have recorded with them twice now and haven't any problems yet. And the last time, I mistakenly set my mic levels quite low and had to boost the signal in software. Even then, the sound remained clear to me (and remind you I'm using 100' plus per mic). I really had to abuse the software gain to get any sort of extra sound, but by that time, I am positive I had approached my own mic's self noise threshold. So yeah, as for line noise, I don't think there is any problem at all. Feel confident that your signal will reach strongly. A little note on wrapping them up: They come all nice and pretty wrapped up in nice tight (not like kink tight, but organized tight) loops. When you unwrap them first time, they will hold some of the loops in the line a bit. You can stretch them out no problem in a hurry. I'm not sure how you like wrapping cables, but I like hand wrapping them into large flexible wire loops as to not force kinks and weird bends. Yeah, you will want to do that before your first gig less you be stuck an unseen amount of time untwisting them as you wrap them up at the end of the day. lol. Once I did that to all of them, its been pretty awesome since. =) Also, I will say I have only used these indoors so far. I do plan on using them outdoors soon though. I'll try to remember to update this on how they handle being out in the sun over time. So, I think that pretty much covers everything. I would definitely buy these again, and more cable products from this company. Positives: - Good Price - Good feel to cable insulation - Good XLR Connection Ends - Can't find any line noise yet Cons: - Wrapping 6 rolls of 100' XLR cable by yourself at the end of the day. lol =) Hope that's helpful!

Decent quality cables, great value buy, comes with velcro ties, two per cable which is nice and very handy. Was going to purchase through the local store, but they are asking more than double the price per cable for similar quality stuff. 4 out of 5 since they are not the best, but great value.

ワイヤレスマイクレシーバーとミキサーとの接続用に購入しました。ちょうどいい長さです。 またカラーバリエーションがありとても分かりやすいです。コネクターもしっかりしています。 再度購入する予定です。

good, thanks!

Have not used them yet but the seem good

Nice
