XLR CablesXLR cables are balanced inputs used primarily to connect your microphones. Most studio gear will have an option to use these cables or unbalanced 1/4" instruments cables.
This connector is compatible with both standard XLR inputs and TRS combo inputs. Just as the name suggests, the XLR - 1/4" combo will accept a XLR connector or a 1/4" balanced instrument plug.
These cables also deliver the phantom power if you are using a condenser microphone from the phantom power source on your mixing console or audio interface. The beauty is that you don't need a dedicated power line to hook up your mic, which is great because it doesn't take long to create a mess of cables that will rival the "untangling of the Christmas lights" routine. Like the instrument cables, these will be used over and over so make sure you have plenty to avoid double booking them in different roles around your setup.
