which XLR cables?


Are XLR cables like HDMI where it really doesn't matter which ones to use? Or is there a difference between the different prices?

I just purchased a new pre/pro & want to hook up all channels via balanced XLR cables

thanks

Balanced (XLR) interconnects are different, just like unbalanced (RCA) interconnects. They're usually more expensive with three wire runs inside instead of two.

The main question to ask yourself, if the run isn't a long one, is:

Are my components completely balanced internally so that they'll benefit from using XLR interconnects?

If they're not, you may be better off buying a better RCA interconnect.
