The SACX-3 coiled XLR microphone cable is designed for vocalists, podcasters, and performers who need flexible mic cable management on boom stands or handheld applications. This 3-foot coiled cable extends to 15 feet when pulled, then retracts back to its compact form when released.

The coiled design eliminates cable clutter around microphone stands while providing the reach you need during performances. The spring-loaded coil maintains consistent tension without putting stress on your microphone or stand connections.

Built with 22-gauge, 3-conductor OFC (oxygen-free copper) wire, this balanced XLR cable delivers clean signal transmission from microphone to mixer or audio interface. Heavy-duty 3-pin XLR male to 3-pin XLR female connectors feature strain relief boots to prevent cable failure at the most vulnerable connection points. The shielded design protects against interference in live sound environments.

Perfect for vocal recording sessions, live performances, podcasting setups, and any application where you need microphone mobility without excess cable length. The coiled design works particularly well with boom stands, keeping cables organized in small studios or tight stage setups. Also suitable for connecting mixers, equalizers, and other balanced audio equipment.

Simply connect the XLR male end to your microphone and the XLR female end to your mixer, audio interface, or preamp. The cable comes ready to use with serviceable connectors for long-term reliability.

Seismic Audio backs this microphone cable with a one-year warranty and ships nationwide. Professional-grade construction at a price that works for home studios and touring acts alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the main advantage of a coiled XLR cable over a straight cable?

Coiled cables automatically retract to their compact length when not under tension, eliminating excess cable clutter around microphone stands. This is especially useful in small studios, podcast setups, or tight stage areas where you need the flexibility to extend the microphone but don't want 15 feet of cable dragging on the floor when you're close to the source.

Can this cable handle phantom power for condenser microphones?

Yes, this balanced XLR cable can safely carry phantom power from your mixer or audio interface to condenser microphones. The 3-conductor design with proper shielding handles the +48V phantom power that most condenser mics require without any signal degradation or safety concerns.

How much tension does it take to extend this cable to full length?

The coiled cable extends with gentle pulling pressure - no excessive force required. The spring tension is designed to balance easy extension with reliable retraction, so you won't strain your microphone or stand connections during normal use. The strain relief boots at both ends protect against damage from repeated stretching.

Is this cable suitable for connecting other balanced audio equipment besides microphones?

Absolutely. While designed primarily for microphones, this XLR cable works perfectly for connecting mixers, equalizers, crossovers, compressors, and other professional audio gear with XLR inputs and outputs. The balanced, shielded design maintains signal integrity for any line-level or mic-level balanced audio connection.

What's the difference between 22-gauge and thicker gauge XLR cables?

22-gauge wire is the standard for most microphone applications and provides excellent signal transmission for typical cable runs. Thicker gauges like 20AWG become beneficial for very long runs (over 100 feet) or extremely high-current applications, but for this 15-foot maximum length, 22-gauge delivers professional performance with better flexibility for the coiled design.
