Help with XLR cables

puckhead193 · Oct 28, 2014

I figured I would post this here since this is an audio related question.

I need to order long XLR cables (100 feet)
I'm using them to hook up a Sennheiser headset mic like this
One end goes the headset the other is going straight into a Sony EX1R camera with XLR connections. (no mixers/audio boards)

I was looking into these. Kopul cables

What's your thought's I'm open to other suggestions.

You are asking if one brand of XLR cable is better than another? The biggest thing is the quality of the end connectors. These have a Neutrik end which are maybe the best. The dual spiral shield has more flexibility than braid shield but less shielding

Monoprice has some pretty good XLR cables, I rarely use more then 25ft but most of my XLR's are monoprice.

2ed this. I use and have used Monoprice XLR's, HDMI's, optical's, Ethernet, and ..... for years. Best cables for the price.
