[Brown] I'll make this simple: These cables brought my noise floor down, and I'm a little upset I didn't start purchasing them sooner. I used to be a bit skeptical about the importance of cables, but I won't be buying anything else form now on.

[Yes] This is a review of the 6 foot Canare L-4E6S Star Quad XLRM to XLRF Microphone Cable. I'm currently using these with the Zoom F3 and Rode PSA1+. It will also be used for portable recording. It's very flexible (though I have no other XLR cables to compare it to.) You can coil it into a 3 diameter round circle without difficulty. It does fit into the clamps on the PSA1+, but I think a thinner cord might fit deeper down in the groove. For a permanent installation, you could probably force it deep down into the groove. The Neutrik nc-mxx connector snaps into the F3 with an elite click. The sound is without any hint of interference. I think the warranty should be longer, but these cables are excellent.

[21 AWG] I didn't believe the hype either until I replaced my good cables with Canare. First, they are just supple and second, the quality of the sound did improve in the opinion of several of us. I can't imagine anyting else for serious audio work.

[Brown] I've been using the Canare XLR cables purchased from B&H for several years now. I setup and tear down EVERY DAY.

Flexibility and lack of noise is excellent especially in rooms where a lot of other electronics are operating. Never a issue with crosstalk.

Best of all the colors makes my setup easily repeatable, dependable. and FAST ! Got to love THAT !!

Many thanks both to Canare & B&H. Excellent product combined with outstanding availability and service.

[Brown] I had read that using a star quad type cable reduced noise. Wasnt sure if it was hype or not. I was using a SM7b mic for voice over work and had to crank the gain since its output is pretty low. Hiss was a problem. Switched to the Canare cable. Hiss was drastically reduced. Switched back to old cable to verify and hiss came back. My other mic cable was a good quality cable in excellent shape and barely used, but the Canare star quad was way quieter and I could easily hear the difference in my studio monitors. For live work I use regular cables sometimes, but for anything in a studio environment, I only use star quad now. On stage I set up and tear down at least 5 times a week. The canare has held up better than my other cables. It seems to have a tendency to twist a little easier when coiling even though I do a forward and reverse technique while coiling. I still regard it as worth it though for longevity and reduced noise.

[21 AWG] Was looking for an affordable cable that came in any other color than standard black and these fit the bill beautifully. Having multiple colors makes set up, tear down and trouble shooting that much easier due to quickly being able to identify the cable sources by color instead of having to trace it back to the connection point.

[21 AWG] used them from snake to moniter. helped eliminate some buzzzes.

[21 AWG] Re-cabled everything in a sound room and used these colored cables to keep better organized in the sound rack. They are excellent cables, quiet, and exactly as advertised.

[Yes] Everyone knows about the high end/overpriced Mo'Gomi cables! I'll place my money on these instead! Colors, high quality & more at a FAIR price. Plus, the B&H stamp of helpfulness. I'm 100% satisfied!

[Neutrik] no concerns re: cable. fine starquad. just wish it weren't a special order.
