The gray Kopul 3000 Series XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable 15'is designed to be an extremely quiet and flexible cable that is ideal for the most demanding live sound and performance applications. The cable is engineered to be durable and provide protection against EMI, RFI, and static noise. While the cable's color-coding affords the ability to quickly differentiate between multiple connections onstage, it provides a pleasant aesthetic quality at the same time.

Premium Performance 3000 Series cables are made from 24-AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. The 95% dual-spiral shielding makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.

Twin conductive PVC inner shielding provides 100% coverage of the core conductor. It helps keep the cable's signal from radiating and affecting nearby cables and helps prevents external EMI from penetrating to the cable's core

24-AWG oxygen-free stranded copper inner core provides the best possible conductivity

Cotton yarn reduces electrostatic and microphonic noise

All solder points shrink-wrapped for protection

Neutrik XX silver connectors offer high conductivity

Caged type contact and improved ground contact

Q: 2. Is this cable CL2 Rated?

A: The manufacturer has not provided any information on CL2 rating for the Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series Neutrik XLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable.

Q: 3. Does this device improve the input sound coming from a mixer into the H4n via XLR cables?

A: This is a simple cable that will preserve the signal being captured. it does not improve or enhance the signal in any way.

Q: 4. Are these the same as interconnect cables for connecting home audio hi-fi components (e.g. CD player, DAC, amplifier)? Thanks.

A: XLR connectors are not typically offered on home AV products. XLR connections are most often used with professional audio components.

Q: 5. Are these ok to use with a set of Alto TS310 speakers???

A: Yes the Alto speakers work with any XLR cable, the Kopul cables are a good option.

Q: 6. Since this cable has a molded split, how far apart can speakers be placed? How far from the 1/8 jack is the split?

A: I'd say about three feet. The vast majority of the 15' comes after the split. It's way more than I need--I've got a 4 or 5-foot desk and use this cable to connect a couple of Behringer powered speakers to my MacPro (which sits off to one side) for video editing. My plan is to mount the speakers on the wall, probably a little higher than head height, and even after that I'll have plenty of post-split cable left over on each side.Otherwise, the quality seems great. Both the audio from my documentary projects and music from iTunes sound super. It's not Monster cable or some such, but I can't imagine that there's much if any loss of sound quality. I wanted this setup to improve the audio side of my editing, and the cable doesn't seem to take anything away from the speakers. Highly recommended.

Q: 7. Are these cables made in the USA?

A: These cables are made in China in a Mogami factory.

Q: 8. What is the length of each 1/4" lead?

A: The Y split on these allows about a 2'span between the 1/4"connectors- it is designed to go into adjacent channels on a piece of equipment, not to be split to, for instance, two speakers

Q: 9. Does the length, 1' for example, include the connector or is it 1 foot of cable plus the connector. Doing some patching in the back of a rack and want to avoid gobs of extra cable but it needs to reach.

A: The length refers to the cable itself, not including connectors.

Q: 10. Does it come with a powercord?

A: No. The power for the mics comes from the camera on phantom power or the mic if it is wired up or a wireless/battery mic.
