Short XLR Microphone Cable for Clean Professional Signal Flow
The Audio-Technica AT8314 1.5-foot microphone cable is a premium short-length XLR cable designed for professional audio applications where clean signal transfer and compact routing are essential. It connects microphones, preamps, mixers, and audio interfaces using XLR male to XLR female connectors, making it ideal for rack wiring, patching, and close-range connections in studio, broadcast, and installed sound environments.
Low Impedance Wiring for Accurate Microphone Performance
This cable is engineered specifically for low-impedance microphone signals, helping maintain signal strength and clarity even in electrically dense environments. Its internal design minimizes signal loss and preserves the microphone’s natural tone, ensuring reliable performance during recording, live sound reinforcement, and broadcast production.
Multi Layer Shielding for Maximum Noise Rejection
The AT8314 features a comprehensive shielding system that includes dual copper outer shields combined with twin conductive PVC inner shields. This layered protection provides full coverage against radio frequency interference and electromagnetic noise. The shielding structure helps maintain clean audio when used near lighting systems, power supplies, and wireless equipment.
Heavy Gauge Copper Conductors for Stable Signal Transfer
Inside the cable are 24-gauge stranded copper conductors designed to deliver efficient signal transmission with low resistance. The stranded construction improves flexibility while maintaining consistent electrical performance. This design supports stable audio transfer in both portable and fixed installations where reliability is critical.
Professional XLR Connectors with Secure Strain Relief
The cable is terminated with professional-grade XLR male and female connectors that provide a firm, reliable connection. These connectors are designed for repeated use and include effective strain relief to protect internal wiring from stress and movement. The secure fit helps prevent accidental disconnections during operation.
Durable PVC Jacket with Flexible Handling
A rugged PVC outer jacket protects the internal components while remaining flexible and easy to manage. The cable resists abrasion and maintains low memory, making it easy to route, coil, and store. Its short length and durable construction make it especially useful for tidy rack setups and permanent audio installations.
