UGREEN 20719 2 m XLR Female to 6.35 mm TS Cable

Overview

A microphone with an XLR output can connect to a mixer, amplifier or recorder that only has a 6.35 mm jack input. The UGREEN 20719 is a 2 m cable with a latching three-pin XLR female plug at the microphone end and a 6.35 mm TS mono plug at the other. It carries one unbalanced mono analogue signal and has no electronics inside.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a dynamic microphone with a male three-pin XLR output and a mixer, amplifier, PA or recorder with a 6.35 mm microphone input.
• Also suits a wireless microphone receiver or other audio source with a male XLR output, as long as the TS input accepts its output level.
• Not for microphones that need phantom power: a TS plug is not a suitable endpoint for a phantom-powered balanced circuit. Use a separate preamp or supply with a balanced XLR connection before this cable.
• Not a direct connection for XLR female source ports, balanced TRS inputs, stereo headphones, RCA, 3.5 mm, USB, optical or passive speaker terminals.

Key features

• Full-size three-pin XLR female with a latch, so the microphone end locks in place when mated correctly.
• 6.35 mm TS mono plug with a gold-plated surface at the equipment end.
• Oxygen-free copper conductor with shielding, a flexible black PVC jacket and a metal XLR shell.
• 2 m length for a microphone on a stand next to the mixer or amplifier.
• Passive: no power, software or setup.

What else you need

A microphone or source with a male three-pin XLR output and equipment with a 6.35 mm TS mono input rated for the incoming signal level. Nothing else is needed.

Before you buy

• Keep phantom power off. The cable does not provide phantom power and should not be used as a phantom-power route.
• The balanced signal from the microphone becomes unbalanced at the TS end, which makes the run more open to hum. Keep the cable away from power adapters, transformers and lighting controls.
• A dynamic microphone can sound very quiet into a line or instrument input, as those inputs may not give enough microphone gain. A hot line-level XLR source can overload a sensitive microphone input. Confirm both levels before connecting.
• It does not amplify, convert impedance, attenuate or match levels, and it does not carry stereo, USB, digital audio, Bluetooth or speaker power.
• Stop using the cable if the XLR latch, plug, jacket or strain relief is loose or damaged.
