Microphone cables choices for family singers

By jjohnson

Having singers in the family makes us want to make sure their voices get heard.  We know a good microphone is important for stage performances as well as studio recordings. We know we need to choose a high quality microphone that is free of distortion in order to provide the best vocal support. However, equally important to the microphone, is the cable. Sometimes this accessory gets overlooked and this can cause problems for voice recording and amplification.

Here are some choices in cables that will go with the all important microphone.

Studio and stage microphones typically have XLR connectors.  The female and male connectors of this cable are XLR.  This is a durable choice that is built to last. It can withstand energetic stage performances without a problem. It is flexible and will last even with strong movement.  These balanced cables will eliminate line noise and provide an ultra clear sound.

This is a professional series, noise free cable from GLS Audio. It is constructed with a thick and flexible, high quality rubber jacket which provides maximum durability. This style of cable has an XLR female end and a ¼ male end. Both the ends are hand wired and hand soldered to ensure quality performance. The female XLR has a lock and a rubber grommet to create a secure seal.

Some stages are set up so that the microphone is distant from the amplifying and recording components. In this situation we need more cable length, which is what this GLS Audio 100 foot patch cord provides. The extra length maintains the flexible and durable quality found in the shorter cords. There is no worry about increase line noise. These cables are balanced and shielded to provide that crystal clear sound.

This is a two pack of GLS Audio XLR male and female connector cables. Many components important to recording have XLR connectors, not just microphones.  This offers 50 feet of balanced performance. It comes with cable ties so we can always take up any excess and keep the stage clear. These cables offer professional sound that woks equally well on the stage and in the studio.

If we have more than one family singer, we may need to buy things in multiples. This package of XLR style cables offers that pro quality sound for everyone who uses them. Stage performances as well as studio productions benefit from the construction of these cables. The shielding and balance will provide ultra clear sound. Distortions and line noises are eliminated.

Maybe we have just one song bird in the family, or maybe we have an entire singing group.  Whatever our situations, we can now offer the support to their skill.  With the quality of these cables, we can match up with the quality of the microphone for all their stage and studio performances.
