FURUI50ft XLR Cable - Male to Female, Nylon Braided Balanced Mic DMX Cable with Oxygen-Free Copper Conductors

UPDATE: Furui (or someone) promptly sent me an unsolicited replacement set of the cables and this pair works as expected. I also own an XLR->1/4" Furui cable, which is fully functional as well. That makes it 2/3 success rate, which isn't catastrophic. Of course, that's out of only 3 purchases so don't take that as any type of relevant metric - Furui's actual success rate is likely much higher based on the reviews alone. I'm revising my rating from 1 to 4 stars to reflect this.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I too purchased these cables to power my ribbon mic via Cloudlifter CL-1, which uses phantom power to get the juice out of the mic. Sadly, neither of the two Furui cables pass the phantom power to the mic activator.Unless you're using the cables to tie a present or to hang a heavy painting, I caution you to stay away from this particular brand. If you need the cables for actual music production or performance, you will be sorely disappointed when you find out Furui cables aren't what they promise to be (i.e.: fully functioning mic cables). I am returning mine for a refund.

The cables I received were perfect quality and perfectly priced, the red color looks great in person and the braided quality feels like it will last. The connections have a good click to them and it just has an overall professional feel, I've been using them outdoors and they work perfectly for my uses. I had a question for Furui and the customer service was excellent, quick response time and they resolved the situation quickly. Will definitely be ordering again as I need more cables and will recommend them to friends.

Great cables - balanced with a rad woven look - I will probably buy another set.

They work just fine and because they are distinctive, they make it easy to see who’s who.

Just what I needed

Son muy buenos cables ... excelente sonido, les recomiendo,

"Perfect" for all these reasons:1) The durability. The tough fabric lasts longer than plastic, more flexible, too.2) The color. The red color instantly tell you which cord you're using, which can be confusing when all other cords are usually black.3). The price. Really worth the money.Well, there you have it!!

This item exceeded my expectations! I couldn't believe how much clearer my microphones performed with these cables. I've finally understood the difference between "balanced" and unbalanced microphone lines. In every scenario, from "live" performances to recordings, these cables performed flawlessly!
