The black, 3' Canare Star Quad 3-Pin XLR Male to 1/4 TRS Male Cable is handcrafted with superflexible Canare L-4E6S cable and features high-quality Neutrik XLR and TRS phone connectors. The Star Quad series has been engineered to dramatically reduce hum and electromagnetic interference (EMI) for outstanding signal transparency both in the studio and on stage. Designed to virtually eliminate handling noise, this cable is well-suited for connecting a balanced 1/4" TRS audio output, like those found on many mics and instruments, to a balanced XLR input on a mixer, PA speaker, or similar device.
