Just got two of these delivered and I noticed that they are a heavier gauge than most XLR cables. Are these appropriate to use as mic cables (connecting dynamic vocal mic to XLR input on mixer)? Or do I require an XLR of a thinner gauge? Thanks!

BEST ANSWER: Bigger gauge cables are always better. These work very well with all microphones.

They should be able to be used from a dynamic mic to a mixer. I use mine for this quite often. When using a mic there should be no issue with the gauge of the cable, however there can potentially be issues with running speakers/other electronic equipment with smaller gauge sizes.

A heavier gauge cable is almost always better than a thinner cable. The only drawback is that it is a little heavier and bulkier. The heavier gauge cable will likely last longer and carry the signal better.

No these are perfectly suitable for that purpose! I use these mainly in the studio, but they would be fine for live use as well. I mainly use thinner gauge live only for portability purposes.

I've used the mainly for PA connections to our mains and monitors. They seemed heavy weight-wise to use for the mics but I would think they should work.

Are there any issues with microphonics?
A shopper
on May 17, 2017
BEST ANSWER: So far I have found these cables to be excellent and far better made than most I have ever bought off the shelf from any music retail store. I believe the only issue I've had was with a 60ft cable and running phantom power to a Mic over it. Although I believe the issue was with the Daw not being powerful enough with regards to output for that distance of cable. So I don't believe the cable was truly the issue.

Will this cable work to extend a HD cable line for Comcast?
A shopper
on Jun 27, 2017
BEST ANSWER: No. Cable TV uses a specific kind of RG-style wire to connect to your tuner (consult with your cable company which RG is needed). This is a microphone cable for stage, recording, and super-high-end home audio. I've never seen an XLR used outside of that narrow field.

I don't think so. This is a microphone cable with 3 pin connectors call XLR. I have never seen this used for cable TV. Usually its something like RG6 coaxial cable. Good luck.

What is the impedance of this cable vs the DMX cable? I have a bunch of XLR I use for lighting but am worried if I should switch them all to DMX?
Casey S
on Jan 24, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The cable will mirror whatever the impedance of the device you have it plugged into (microphone, Sound Eq.) to the far end. So it can be used with any impedance device from very low impedance (microphones) to very high, in the thousands.

The description says, "The Choice Microphone cable is built with a 21AWG pure bare copper", whereas the Premier Series uses 16AWG copper. Why would someone choose one over the other? Are these both suitable as microphone cables?

Is this a 110 ohm cable? Thanks
A shopper
on Sep 4, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Enter an answer to this question.AES/EBU is digital
XLR is analog
Although the interconnect is the same.
AES/EBU cable is 110 ohm balanced.
XLR is typically 66-75ohm cable (isn't it?)
BUT you could use a regular XLR as an AES/EBU cable (just like you could use a regular old RCA cable as a coax S/PDIF cable), just know it would be more susceptible to noise and interference.

Outlasted all my GC cables
I've put theses through the ringer with a mobile DJ biz. They are still running great. They've outlasted my Guitar Center cables by years. Smooth and Pliable. Never had a crack or pop. Always a solid connection. I'll definitely order more in longer lengths.

Love these!
I use several of these in my DJ business and love them. They coil and uncoil nicely and feel extremely durable. I was showing off the heavy-duty construction to a fellow DJ and he dissed them because the ends had screws and "screws loosen". I have NEVER had that happen with these cables, but if it did... I own a screwdriver!
Would buy again.
