Canare L-4E6S Star Quad Balanced Microphone Cable | XLR Male 3-Pin to XLR Female 3-Pin | Neutrik Gold | 150 Feet | Black | Assembled in The USA

I use Canare almost exclusively in my studio (I have a few Blue and Mogami cables, as well) and have well over a thousand custom cables, along with a couple dozen pre-rolled 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 foot cables that I was either too lazy to do myself, when my bench was put away, or if I just needed one or two for a quick need.I spent a great deal of time A/B'ing Can are versus Mogami, and found, along with many other, that for 2/3 the price, the canare provide very comparable results.In any case, your studio is only as strong as your weakest link, so if you have a bunch of low or mid range cables in every other spot and you've purchased a canare for "the special mic hook-up"-you are not going to get the benefit. However, if you are starting from the ground up and wiring your studio with cables with great capacitance ratings, good durability, clean/flat specs, a braided shield, etc. you will find a marked difference in noise floor and sound quality.Canare cables are the single most expensive thing in my professional studio (I am professional engineer and sound designer and do not have anything but pro pieces in my facility) You won't be disappointed with canare - well worth the investment, even though its a considerable one if you elect to rewire with the best,,,(I won't get into the Mogami versus canare debate - there's plenty online with about a 50/50 canare versus mogami "win". if you get a chance, check them both out - I think the canare wins, in sound and the wallet.

This cable is very low profile, smaller in diameter than the cheap cables that are fat and rubbery. This one is slick and shiny and feels very high quality. It's not as soft as silicone, but not like hard PVC coated wire either, it's very soft and supple. I got this cable because I feel that it is the nicest looking, most bad ass XLR cable on the market, for the price. The other XLR cables have an awful huge goddy looking logo printed on the XLR connector so it ruins the appearance completely. These cables have no ugly logo anywhere on them, they just have markings on the wire in very small lettering that doesn't make the wire look hideously ugly like the other brands. The wire says Made in Japan on it, along it's length. So that adds a nice quality touch. Japan is known for making many of the highest quality products in the world. The connectors snap in with a fit and finish that is surprisingly better than the old generic XLR cables. I feel like I'm plugging in a cable invented in 2017, not a 1950's cable. Noise is non existent, even using my powered 48 volt condenser microphone right next to my PC computer with a computer fan humming, and now I finally have a cable that matches the quality of my other equipment. Well done! Very impressive.

Sometimes cheap cables are nice to have. Other times you need a really well made cable with name brand components.Usually, high quality cables are very expensive. These are what I consider to be a great value. The Neutrik connectors always feel good and fit well with anything you plug them into. Cheaper connectors, no matter how hard they try to look like Neutrik, never work as well.The Canare cable is thinner than most cables, and feels great. It's easy to wrap, and lays flat on the ground.I bought a lot of really inexpensive, but highly rated cables on Amazon. They are just fine, but I kind of wish I had bought these instead.

This cable was a noticeable improvement over my Monoprice XLR. I thought I didn't care about sound quality since the budget cable was being used in my DJ rig for monitoring and was not in the signal path of my recordings. But wow. That's all I can say. Clarity increased and voices became more focused on the sound stage. However the sound stage width seemed to narrow.I already use Canare L-2T2S for DIY interconnects in the DJ rig and that cable sounds good. I would buy these again if I needed them for my desktop studio monitors, but please be aware of the higher capacitance of quad for long runs. Not much of an issue if you are MIC'ing vocals. I used to make all my cables myself but Canare has these at a great price, assuming you only need 10 or 15 feet. Any other distance and you will need to DIY or order from a custom maker, which would make the cables expensive.

For longer mic cables, anything over 50 feet, always use a “star-quad” construction cable such as this. Canary L-4E6S is thinner than many star-quad cables which can be good. But, as star-quad cables tend to be, these are stiff. Unfortunately, they come rolled up unidirectionally. I had to unroll each one, over-under wrap it and then toss it out and repeat four of five times for each cable before they would relax and lay well.But, 100 feet and zero noise pickup; you’ve gotta love that.

The components are the best you can get and are used in cables costing twice as much. Construction is great, too, with clean solder joints. If you want a cable that won't let you down with noise, cheap connectors, or lack of durability, ChromaLeaf won't disappoint. You can pay less, but you'll get less. You can pay more, but you'll get the same quality.

I had been having really bad noise issues with my old microphone cable. So I finally decided to give a new "higher end" cable a shot.I was expecting it to just reduce the noise, and I would have been really happy with just that. But after testing it out under the exact same circumstances that cause the other one to pick up so much noise, this one is picking absolutely no noise at all, zero, nada.Even after amplifying the recording quite a bit, I can only hear a clean, noiseless voice.I would absolutely recommend this cable/brand. It's a fantastic price for such quality!It was also delivered very fast.

I would definitely buy this again. I have an old Shure 58 mic that the cable got sucked up into the band's cable box and is now who knows where. Now that I'm back to singing this cable fits the bill. I use it for rehearsing so don't need the longer cable length. If you use it on stage you'll definitely need a longer one. It's durable and versatile. I put it on my Audio Technica mic and it worked just as nicely.
