- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024Size: 6 FeetVerified PurchaseI rpurchased the Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium XLR to XLR Microphone Cables (1.8m) for my audio setup, which includes a Shure microphone, a Cloudlifter, and a Roland VR. My primary goal was to find a reliable connection that wouldn't break the bank, and I'm happy to report that these cables have meet my expectations.
Firstly, the build quality of these XLR cables is really goof. They have a thick coating that not only gives them a robust feel but also suggests they'll be durable in the long run. This aspect is crucial for anyone who regularly uses and moves their audio equipment. I dont move mine. Mine is set up in my office. So i dont know how well they would take constantly moving them , which is common for musitians.
In terms of performance, these cables work like a charm. The audio transmission is clear, and there's no noticeable loss in sound quality, which is essential for both recording and live setups. The affordability of these cables is a significant plus. Finding high-quality audio cables at a reasonable price can be hard, but these hit the sweet spot of cost-effectiveness and performance.
However, there is one concern that I have. I'm not entirely sure if the thickness of these cables is sufficient to prevent interference from my cell phone. This is a common issue with many cables, where electronic devices in close proximity can cause unwanted noise. To mitigate this, I keep my phone away from the cables, which seems to help. I dont know what other devices could cause interference. But the solution is simple just keep your phone 2 feet away.
For those considering these cables, it might be worth noting this issue, especially if you plan to use them in a setting with numerous electronic devices around. While other, more expensive cables might offer better shielding, these Cable Matters XLR cables are a great choice if you're looking for a balance between quality and affordability.
Overall I would definitely recommend the Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium XLR to XLR Microphone Cables. .
- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019Size: 6 FeetVerified PurchaseTL;DR: These cables are extremely nice quality and are free of interference and defects for a fairly low price.
I ordered these because the last few cables I bought from CableMatters were pretty good quality and arrived very quickly. These were also the right length and price for what I was looking for, except I was going to end up with *2* cables for the price I was expecting to pay for a single cable.
They came in a padded Amazon envelope and inside a single plastic bag within this envelope; the bag also had a large label on it saying it should contain 2 cables and warning the distributor that they are to stay packaged together in a pair. I guess they've had issues with separation, kind of made me laugh a tiny bit because this warning label is so prominent.
I disassembled the connector on the female end just enough to check the assembly and material quality, since I just assembled one of these recently and I knew it would be easy to take apart and put back together. I wanted to make sure I got what CableMatters claims to sell, and I'm happy to say it looks like it's all exactly what they said it is on their site.
WIRE/CABLE:
Anyway, these cables are very thickly insulated with copper braid shielding. Supposedly there's foil in their under the copper braiding, but I couldn't see it in there and I don't want to damage anything digging for it. (Braided shielding is more effective, more expensive, and usually provides lower resistance path to ground than foil, but adding a layer of foil provides complete coverage against interference.)
Inside of the shielding, there are two conductors (separately insulated wires--hot and ground) that are very thin gauge. I'm not sure what gauge, but I'm guessing it's like 24 or 26 AWG.
The jacket of the cable (outermost layer) is soft, thick, and should be made of PVC but I don't know how to tell what the material actually is. Scratching it with my nail doesn't seem to hurt it. Text is printed at regular intervals on it in a very clear font; it contains their logo and reads, "Cable Matters (THEIR WEBSITE URL)HIGH QUALITY MICROPHONE CABLE" and does not otherwise describe the ratings or properties of the cable; I would have liked to know the ratings and maybe who manufactures the cable material (I don't think CM makes the wire in-house, I think they just modify and assemble it), but that's me.
CONNECTORS:
You can disassemble these connectors by gently unscrewing the black plastic strain relief cones from the metal connector housings.
The connectors seem to be some Neutrik XLR gold-plated connectors, which have been repainted in semi-gloss black, do not have the stamped NEUTRIK labels on the strain relief or housing, and have a silkscreened small CableMatters logo opposite of the latching mechanism. I'm not sure which model line (eg XX, EMC) the connectors are, and I can't be completely sure if they are actually NEUTRIK or just look the same. The springy plastic ring around the strain relief can probably be swapped for Neutrik's XXR-n (swap n for numbers 0 through 9) color coding rings. These are currently $0.25 or so each if you order them from electrical supply companies, such as Mouser or Allied, but if you really want them from an Amazon vendor, I saw a listing selling them for $6 *each* with an additional ~$7 in shipping, or another listing that sells them for about $8 shipped. :)
The paint looks like the polyester powdercoating that I've seen on Hoffman industrial enclosures at work, except thinner, so I believe it's the same stuff. It's not a very tough paint, in my experience; it will probably scuff somewhat easily if you drag or hit it against metal, but I also think that since it's thin, it probably is at least not going to have poor adhesion or just flake off, and it shouldn't get damaged by fingernails, wood, or plastic.
The wires and shielding are soldered to the connector pins and tab; the solder is shiny, I was not able to pry off any connections with my fingernail (I'd rather know if they are cold-soldered sooner rather than in the middle of a gaming session), and the insulation of the wires and connector isolator material are not deformed or melted. These cables are probably assembled by hand and the workmanship is absolutely fantastic.
SOUND QUALITY:
Using the direct monitor setting, even with my pre-amp's mic gain setting turned all the way to +60 dB, the sound through this cable is crystal-clear and no detectable hiss. I can clearly hear sparrows chirping and wind blowing through my open window with how high I have the gain set; when I swap to my old cobbled-together coax abomination cable, there is a lot of popping, there is a low hum, and everything going through my mic sounds horribly distorted. I wish I had a "real" XLR cable that I could compare it to.
NOTE: My pre-amp has noise filtering, so it's possible that some interference may still be getting picked up in this cable and the amp is managing to filter it all out enough that I can't detect it at full gain. The pre-amp definitely doesn't filter much noise from my other cable, though, so I think this cable from CM blocks interference extremely well.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2024Size: 6 FeetVerified PurchaseGreat quality and cables work great. I ordered these cables to use them for dmx purposes and they work with no issues. Audio quality is great as well, these cables were made with love for sure
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024Size: 3 FeetVerified PurchaseI was having some hissing when recording vocals from my mixer through my audio interface. I replaced old cables worked these. The hiss was greatly decreased a little to none. These cables are built well. A little less flexible than I imagined as they are pretty thick. The length is what I expected and fits well between my mixer and interface.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024Size: 6 FeetVerified PurchaseThe lock on the female end is wider than normal and thus not compatible with Cloud Microphones Cloudfilter and probably other items with a narrow channel for the lock. Therefore it’s not as versatile as a standard cable.
Otherwise, it’s a great cable that has more girth than a typical XLR cable. Therefore it is somewhat stiff, but seemingly more durable.

I researched what cables are good. These were recommended and for the price I bought them.
They have work good. I've noticed zero issues since I purchased them months ago.
Whenever I have a need for more than two, I will buy them again.
Arrived on time and good condition.
