How does the XLR cable (item 4754) compare to the 5x pricier Monoprice cable (item number 33837)? I need to connect my DAC with AMP. Would there be any difference? Thanks.

If there is a difference 99% of people in the world would not be able to tell the difference with whatever equipment they are using. The premier series is one very well built cable already. Now if you have like top top of the line equipment then maybe it does make sense to go with the monolith cable just for the heck of it. But I couldn’t imagine being able to tell a difference on 99.9% of equipment out there. I feel that once you hit a certain level of quality in the cable. There’s really no need to buy anything more expensive.

I have the Monolith version in 2 meter length. I selected that cable as it has more shielding and insulation on each wire as well as overall shielding. It also has an all metal connector end. My area that the wires ran through had some power wires in close proximity so I wanted all the shielding I could get. This was still a fairly reasonable priced cable set and didn’t want to have to purchase twice if I wasn’t satisfied with the lower priced cable.

I am sure the Monolith is a much higher grade and more rigid cable then the Premier series. I purchased 12 of the Monolith for my system and am very happy with them. They provide a drawing of the cable in the specs and show they upgrades.

Both are excellent quality but the look of the silver cables are much nicer in my opinion.

Any chance there will be a 3M or longer cable coming soon? My sub is about 3M away from my processor and the 2M cable is not long enough.

I own three. I understand that this cable utilizes "multi-guage" for each conductor. "Three different solid oxygen-free copper conductor gauges for best bass and midrange optimization". What are the different guages of OFC used?

Any chance Monoprice would consider coming out with a longer version of this cord? I could use a nice long version for my subwoofer, as sometimes moving the sub around the room will achieve best placement, but a 2m xlr is a bit too short to do this. Thanks!

The new Marantz AV 8805 uses the European pinout which reverses pin 2 and 3. Pin 2 is hot(+)and pin 3 is cold(-). Can the pins be reversed on one end of the cable?

Decent cable but pictures of connector don't match actual connector
The cable quality is good. Great value for the money.
My only complaint is the connector is clearly painted, but the product photos make it look more like a machined aluminum or brushed finish. The photos make it look truly premium and the actual product is just decent. Still solid for the price.

Good solid construction!
Well constructed cable. None of the audiophile mumbo jumbo, but feels and sounds well constructed. I think for the price they cannot be beat. Definitely feel it is a step up from my unbalanced cables previously connecting my oppo udp-205, to my Adcom GFP-715. Thanks Monoprice!

Love the connections, firm and not loose, sound is amazing but that could be your power amp also, just. Got them and your monolith 7 amp, excellent pairing

Well Constructed XLR Cables
These cables are well built and adhere to the high standard Monoprice places in its products. The high quality metallic XLR connectors on these balanced cables add to the quality of the cables. The cables are flexible, durable and attractive due in part to the braided nylon covering. These cable work as designed and are highly recommended for audiophiles who have equipment with XLR ports. I had purchased some of the Monolith RCA interconnects earlier for another piece of equipment that does not have XLR ports, and I couldn't be happier. Both sets of cables were constructed to the same high caliber.
