BEST ANSWER:No. It’s an audio cable that can be used in pro audio environments. An active speaker with a balanced TRS or XLR connection can leverage this cable, but it’s not “speaker cable”

What is the best cable for 1/4 out of a 6 channel audio2000 mixer to an xlr 12 inch lyx speaker?

BEST ANSWER:Premier series for sure. I use them for all of my pro audio gear and haven’t had a single issue. VERY well made. You won’t get loose connections or cheap connectors.

I purchased 15-ft (PID 4763), 25-ft (PID 4764), and 50-ft (PID4766) XLR Male to 1/4 inch TRS Male cables. The 25-ft and 50-ft cables have different sleeve printing than pictured here, with repeated double arrows --> --> before and after each set of text. Does that mean the cables are directional, and grounded on only one end, or something of the sort? I wanted to go 1/4 inch from mixer to XLR powered speaker, but the repeated arrows all point in the opposite direction??

Monoprice 50ft Premier Series XLR Male to 1/4in TRS Male Cable, 16AWG (Gold Plated)
Monoprice 25ft Premier Series XLR Male to 1/4in TRS Male Cable, 16AWG (Gold Plated)
Bought this to plug iPad into arena speaker system, with the idea that I could use a 3.5 mm TRS to 1/4 inch TRS converter plug. However, tried two such converter plugs (one from Monoprice site) and neither connects well from the iPad to this cord. The connection is loose, and semi-okay 50% sound is heard with manually holding the 1/4 inch plug from this device within the converter just right. Not a tenable situation for playing the arena music. Had to be returned.
I love these new cables great quality heavy duty and the connections are great will definitely be ordering from you guys again and the price was right on point
I got a bunch of these at different lengths for my powered speakers and for drum and amp mics. They seem very heavy duty and will hold up for live shows.
I bought 2 of these cables, and was very impressed with the quality of the materials and construction. However, from the beginning noticed that I was getting more volume out of one cable than the other. Then I started noticing all sorts of interference on the one cable (e.g. A/C hum, high pitched noise, etc.) When I finally got a chance to test the cables with an ohm meter, I discovered that while the one cable was perfect (i.e. no resistance from one end to the other on all 3 conductors, and no cross talk on any of the leads), the other cable has a complete short between the shield and ring conductors, and is the obvious source of my A/C hum and noise. So, out of 2 cables, I got one good, and one bad. Its been long enough that I'm sure they won't honor a warranty for the cable, I just wish that I had figured out what was wrong with the cable sooner. I like the cables well enough that I am going to order a replacement, but I am very disappointed that I am going to have to eat the cost of the one when it was obviously defective from the beginning.
PROS: Good quality cable and ends. Heavy duty construction and very professional in appearance.
Thank you for your review and truly sorry to hear about the issues experienced with PID 4766. If you would like, I can help setup an RMA for a replacement. We offer a lifetime warranty for our cables and obtaining a replacement would be of no additional cost. If you wanted to proceed with the RMA, please provide the order number and I can get that started right away. Apologies again for any inconvenience and hope this helps!

I am very happy with my purchase as these are well built cables with strong connectors. A very good value for the 'monoprice' :)
