Presented here with a cable length of 100'', this Warm Audio Premier Series XLR Cable 100ftis designed to provide a high-end connection between balanced gear with XLR jacks, such as microphones, outboard equipment, and interface-to-monitoring connections. If you care about the details of your sound onstage and in the studio, use this cable to preserve your signal.

This XLR cable is chock-full of features that enable a top-of-the-line performance, such as gold-plated connectors and a star-quad wiring scheme for superior RFI rejection in the balancing process. Double-Ruessen shielding helps protect against EMI, and a braided outer wrap fights against tangling. To guarantee an optimal performance, Warm Audio partnered with Gotham AG, one of Switzerland's best producers of premium cable.

Warm's Premier cables go above and beyond, adding features like gold-plated connectors, a braided outer wrap, four-conductor star-quad construction (helping aid in giving you powerful rejection of RFI), and double-Ruessen shielding (also for increased rejection of EMI).

This braided wrap removes the friction that occurs when rubber or PVC rub together, so it's much easier to handle and wrap the cable. No more fighting with a rat's nest of cable spaghetti. The braided wrap also adds an element of strength and reliability, as it helps to protect the cable's PVC jacket from damage due to pinching or binding.

A traditional balanced cable uses three cores of wire to carry audio signals—one shielded core for the positive leg, one shielded core for the negative leg, and a plain outer wrap that functions as the ground. The idea is this: a fully balanced system flips the phase of the signal, merges the positive and negative signals together, and effectively cancels out interference encountered along the cable's length by throwing it out of phase with the audio.

Star-quad construction takes that concept even further by using five cores instead of three. Two cores are provided each for the positive and negative legs, as well as a single ground. This helps to further shield the audio from RFI (radio frequency interference), ensuring an even better performance.

Double-Ruessen shielding goes further than more traditional techniques in two ways: First, the cable is wrapped with two separate shields. Second, the outer shield is wrapped in a contrary direction to the inner shield, creating a stronger and more complete barrier from EMI for the internal cores.

Gold connectors have characteristics that are advantageous for signal transfer and provide more resistance to corrosion than other metals, making it well-suited for cable connectors.

Q: 1. How is volume projected without speakers? Do I need to purchase speakers or sound amplifiers?

A: Yes, you need speakers to project the sound. You can purchase speakers that are already amplified so you can just plug and play. You can also us a sound board or even a DJ mixer like I do

Q: 2. Will this microphone plug directly in my Phone 8 and functions easily with the Apple app "Audio Memos" ?

A: This AT2020USBi mic does include a lightning cable in the box, and will work with iPhone X models. It should work for voice memos, as well as any other app that accepts audio input.

Q: 3. Does the docking ports on top of the receiver for the mics charge the handsets?

A: Yes they do. As far as I know, that's the only way they get charged.

Q: 4. If you send a third mic in through one of the stereo inputs, will the USB interface output three separate tracks of audio to your DAW? Or will the third mic get bussed in with one of the other two mic tracks?

A: This is a two channel stereo mixer and will mix the third mic into the two stereo tracks.

Q: 5. Is it a mic only? if not what else comes with it?

A: In the Box: Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone Stand Mount for 5/8"- 27 Threaded Stands 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 Threaded Adapter Protective Pouch Limited 1-Year Warranty Not in the Box Essential XLR Cables (Not Included)

Q: 6. What would you recommend coiled or straight cable?

A: Opinions from boompole operators on their preference for a coiled or straight internal boompole cable are mixed and often dependent on the type of audio that is being captured and whether they use a fully extended boompole. However, using a coiled internal cable, like the one inside of the K-Tek KE-110CC Avalon Series Aluminum Boompole, seems to be more popular.

Q: 7. How do you attach the mic mount to the mic stand? the "male" end on the stand is too big for the "female" end on the mic mount

A: Please make sure to remove the 5/8" to 3?8" adapter from your mic mount and it should then work just fine. The included adapter allows you to mount it on other stands such as light stands.

Q: 8. would this work usb to xbox?

A: This microphone would not be compatible with the XBox.

Q: 9. I had my company buy three of these mic sets and for some reason the audio volume dips during recordings. WE connected everything fine and plug it into Rodecaster pro but each time we do a podcast the volume dips and comes back up on a few seconds. Distance between speaker and mic has not changed, Could you say what could be the cause?

A: If you are using the RodeCaster Pro Integrated Podcast Production Studio, then the Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphones should be connected directly to the XLR mic inputs on the RodeCaster Pro with phantom power turned on. It sounds like you may have the compressor and/or master compressor effects turned on and possibly set too high. The compressor is used to smooth and balance the dynamic range in your audio so your voice is clear, punchy, and intelligible. It can even out the audio so the softest parts of your speech can be heard and the loudest parts of your speech will not be overpowering or distorted. The master compressor affects the entire output of your podcast, so if the problem occurs with all of the mics, that may be what is causing the issue. Check the settings on both the regular and master compressor effects and adjust them as needed. Here are links to Rode's online user guide which provides useful information and tutorial videos showing how to use the built-in effects and processors included with the RodeCaster Pro: https://rode.com/en/user-guides/rodecaster-pro/using-advanced-processing-and-effects https://rode.com/en/user-guides/rodecaster-pro/setting-up-microphone-channels

Q: 10. Does this plug right into the computer for recording?

A: The AT2020 plugs into the Q802USB via XLR cables. You can then plug the Q802USB directly into your PC via USB for recording. Just make sure your computer's input is set for the Q802USB mixer.
