{"product_id":"xlr-microphone-cable-3m-swieler","title":"Swieler XLR Microphone Cable 3m Balanced OFC","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSwieler XLR Microphone Cable 3m\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you only buy one length, buy this one. Three metres has become the default microphone lead almost everywhere, and the reason is geometric rather than arbitrary. A vocal microphone sits about a metre and a half above the floor, the stage box or sub-snake usually lands within a metre or two of the performer, and the cable has to travel down the stand, along the base and across to the input. Three metres covers that with a little dressed slack and almost never leaves a coil on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same arithmetic holds in a home studio: microphone on a stand, interface on the desk, cable routed behind the monitors rather than across the work surface. It holds for a small stage where the mixer sits at the edge of the riser, for a rehearsal room where everyone plugs into a shared multicore, and for a lectern feeding a nearby wall plate. This is the length that gets replaced most often for the same reason it gets used most often.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this is the length to stock deep\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking engineers rarely own a single 3m cable. They own a bundle, because the length is interchangeable across every input on a small system: eight vocal microphones, a set of overheads, a DI line, a spare. Buying a matched set means every lead in the bag terminates the same way, coils the same way and behaves the same way, which turns fault-finding into a process of elimination rather than guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is consistent across the Swieler XLR range. The cable carries a balanced pair of oxygen-free copper conductors beneath full spiral shielding, terminated with 3-pin XLR male and female connectors in metal housings. The jacket is flexible black PVC, chosen so the cable lies flat when dressed down a stand instead of springing back into the shape it was last coiled in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced 3-pin XLR, male to female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull spiral shielding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal connector housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible PVC jacket, black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 metres — the standard vocal-mic-to-stage-box length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel No\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTW-XLR3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalanced microphone cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-pin XLR male to 3-pin XLR female\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOxygen-free copper (OFC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShielding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpiral shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJacket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlexible PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur deepest-stocked XLR length, warehoused in Australia by MSM AV.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swieler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52738744516919,"sku":"TW-XLR3","price":20.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/0009\/0679\/files\/xlr-cable-2_cafd57b9-6223-4f8c-b963-464260729a2b.jpg?v=1785366049","url":"https:\/\/msmav.co.nz\/products\/xlr-microphone-cable-3m-swieler","provider":"MSM AV - Pro Audio \u0026 Video Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
