25 Ft XLR Microphone Cables - Red
Professional XLR microphone cables built for musicians, DJs, content creators, schools, podcasters, and recording studios who need reliable signal transmission without the premium price. This 2-pack of 25-foot red XLR cables handles everything from vocal mics to line-level connections between mixers and amplifiers.
Each cable features male-to-female XLR connectors with robust metal construction that stands up to repeated plugging and unplugging. The 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors deliver clean signal transmission while the comprehensive shielding rejects RF interference that can plague budget cables.
The heavy-duty rubber jacket flexes without kinking, even in cold weather or tight cable runs behind racks. At 25 feet, these cables give you the reach needed for most stage setups without excess length cluttering your workspace. The red color coding helps with quick identification during setup and teardown.
Use these cables to connect dynamic microphones to your mixer, run balanced line signals between processing gear, or for theater and film production applications. They work well for live sound applications, recording studio connections, and broadcast setups where you need reliable cable runs. The female connector goes to your source output and the male connector goes to your destination input.
Each cable terminates in standard 3-pin XLR connectors that work with all professional audio equipment. The 2-pack gives you a matched pair for stereo applications or backup cables for critical connections.
Seismic Audio backs these cables with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to work straight from the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between XLR and regular 1/4" instrument cables?
XLR cables carry balanced signals using three conductors (positive, negative, and ground) which cancels out noise and interference over long runs. This makes them ideal for microphones and professional line-level connections where you need clean signal transmission without hum or buzz that unbalanced 1/4" cables can pick up.
Can I use these XLR cables for both microphones and line-level equipment?
Yes, these cables work for both dynamic microphones and balanced line-level connections between mixers, equalizers, amplifiers, and other professional audio gear. The same XLR connector standard handles both applications, though microphone signals are much lower level than line signals.
Can I use these XLR cables for DMX lighting control?
While XLR cables can physically connect to DMX lighting equipment, audio XLR cables like these are designed for 75-ohm impedance while proper DMX cables use 120-ohm impedance. Using audio cables for DMX can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting control, especially over longer runs. For critical lighting applications, use cables specifically designed for DMX with the correct impedance rating.
Do I need special adapters to connect these to my audio interface or mixer?
Most professional mixers and audio interfaces have XLR inputs, so these cables connect directly without adapters. If your equipment only has 1/4" inputs, you'll need XLR-to-1/4" adapters, but the balanced XLR connection gives you better noise rejection than going straight 1/4" to 1/4".
What applications work best with 25-foot XLR cables?
These cables work well for connecting microphones to mixers, running balanced line signals between rack equipment, podcast recording setups, YouTube video production, broadcast applications, church sound systems, school PA setups, and mobile entertainment rigs where you need reliable connections without excessive cable length.
