50 Ft XLR Microphone Cable - Purple
This 50-foot XLR microphone cable gives musicians, DJs, churches, and recording studios the reach they need for stage setups where standard cable lengths fall short. Whether you're running mics across a large stage or connecting equipment racks in different locations, this purple cable delivers reliable balanced audio transmission for live sound applications.
The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors ensure clean signal transfer with superior RF rejection, while the heavy-duty flexible rubber jacket stands up to repeated coiling, foot traffic, and outdoor conditions. Shielded construction prevents interference from lighting systems and wireless devices that can plague live sound setups.
At 50 feet, this cable handles the demanding routing requirements of larger stages and performance spaces where equipment placement requires longer runs. The distinctive purple jacket makes cable management easier during setup and strike, helping sound crews quickly identify specific signal paths in complex routing scenarios.
Standard 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female) connect microphones to mixers, link mixer outputs to amplifiers, or chain together rack-mounted processors and effects units. The female connector connects to your source output and the male connector connects to your destination input. The cable also works for DMX lighting control applications, though this requires understanding the technical limitations involved.
The cable includes Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and ships ready to use. No additional adapters or connectors required – just plug in and start routing audio signals with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications work best with a 50-foot XLR cable?
This length is ideal for stages where you need to run microphones across wide performance areas or connect equipment racks positioned far apart. It's also useful for outdoor events where the mixing position needs to be set back from the stage area, and works well for content creators setting up in larger studio spaces.
Can I use this cable for both microphones and line-level equipment?
Yes, this balanced XLR cable works for both microphone signals and line-level connections between mixers, amplifiers, processors, and other professional audio equipment. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and shielding handle both low-level mic signals and higher-level line signals effectively.
Will this cable work with DMX lighting systems, and what are the pros and cons?
While this XLR cable can physically connect to DMX lighting equipment, there are important technical considerations. Audio XLR cables like this one are designed for 75-ohm impedance, while DMX systems require 120-ohm impedance. This mismatch can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control, especially over longer cable runs. For critical DMX applications, dedicated DMX cables are recommended. However, this cable may work acceptably for temporary setups or shorter DMX runs where proper DMX cable isn't available.
How does the purple color help with cable management?
The purple jacket makes it easy to visually trace specific signal paths during setup and troubleshooting, especially when working with multiple cables of different colors. This helps sound engineers quickly identify which cable carries which signal, reducing setup time and minimizing errors during live events.
Does this cable require any special connectors or adapters?
No additional hardware needed. The cable comes with standard 3-pin XLR male and female connectors that work directly with professional microphones, mixers, amplifiers, and other audio equipment. The female connector connects to your source output and the male connector connects to your destination input.
