Bulk Microphone Cable 300' Black Mic, High Grade 21AWG 3 Copper Conductors,with High-Purity, Oxygen Free Copper Conductors - 300ft Signal Mike Cable

I buy the things I review, I never trade my reviews for free stuff like many on Amazon.I needed to make some balanced TRS patch cords for my recording studio and bought a roll of this wire. The outer jacket is very flexible, the shield is a "serve" type which means it's wrapped around the inner conductors just like Mogami does it on a lot of their cable that costs three times the price. A serve shield is functionally equal to a braided shield, maybe a tad less durable although I have many cables that are over 20 years old made with the serve type shield and they're working great. Serve shield is easier to work with than braided shield so I'm not afraid of it. The only time serve shield is not good is when people treat their cables poorly and bend them into hard u-turns or extreme angles, this can cause the shield to separate under the jacket and weaken the protection to induced noise. I treat my cables well, like expensive tools and have never had a problem with this type of cable construction.In my lab I tested the wire for capacitance and impedance and found both to be very low, this means you could make cables for passive instruments without your tone sucking. For interconnecting studio processors it's an excellent cable.I'm using GLS TRS plugs on the ends, these plugs are easy to solder, I prefer them to the Switchcraft 297 type TRS plugs, easier to solder and one-third the price.I worked for a US wire manufacturer for five years and got to see a lot of the inside of the wire business, so much of it is smoke and mirrors. It really comes down to how good the wire sounds in the application, for professional sound and recording this wire works great and the price is very reasonable. Super fast Amazon Prime delivery made it even sweeter.I like that the wire is untinned copper, this makes it more flexible and resistant to breakage than plated steel plated copper. This cable takes solder well and is easy to work with. The inner construction is on par with any professional cable, it looks and feels like a good Mogami clone.Highly recommended.Good music to all!

Project Description: Reran over 750ft of old studio wiring with GLS mic cable.Ease of installation - This cable is supple yet tough. In order to meet my need, I had to pull (6) 100ft runs through several tight spaces full of turns in order to mic up the platform. This cabling was a trooper. Pulled smoothly and easily...something that cheaper cables would have struggled a lot with...and the outer insulation is hardly even scratched.Cable quality - Good quality. The outer insulation is soft and flexible. The copper shielding is consistent in its winding and is easily twisted to make your ground/earth connection. The cloth shielding is consistent and thick, providing good isolation. The Red & White wires were well-insulated too. Overall, I was impressed.Ease of connection - Making up the wall and floor plates was pretty easy. The cable soldered well and took heat shrink well.Bonus! GLS offers their cabling with different colored outer insulation, which is a big help when pulling multiple wires at a time. Combined with different color marking tape, it's a breeze to keep your entire project organized and easily labeled.Outcome: My cracks and pops have gone away. My line noise has decreased. I couldn't be more happy, and I now feel far more confident in my system. I think this is a great solution if you don't want to step all the way up to Mogami 2549.

We bought this bulk cable to set up a church AV system that needed XLR cables for audio as well as the DMX light controller. So buying the bulk cable allowed us to customize the length of every cable as well as complete the project in a reasonable budget.The cable is really good quality. No issues with sound or being able to solder it. All connections are solid. The wires are really good quality and easily tinned. The cotton core also helps keep the cable flexible and yet strong .Highly recommend this. We picked up the roll for $50 bucks. Hope it's still on sale when you need it.

I'm an audio engineer and usually make my own cables for stage and/or installation jobs. So, I am picky.At first I was leary of getting mic cable at such a good price. I normally use Canare Star Quad, but I had to find mic cable fast for a small installation job at a church. I had volunteer help, but didn't have enough Canare on-hand, so I overnighted the GLS mic cable.When I opened the box, the heavy duty cardboard reels were well packaged. I immediately got my pocket knife out and peeled back the rubber jacket to reveal a copper shield, several strands of string and a white and a red plastic-coated stranded copper wires. Let me expound on the cable's elements:RUBBER JACKET - for sound installation, this works fine. I don't know how it would hold up over time for use in live sound. It does peel very easily once you cut it, and that's a plus. I was able to install connectors quickly.COPPER SHIELD - this is not braided copper. At first I thought that could be a detriment, but again, it works well for installed sound. I had to pull 4, 150' lengths for choir mics and all mics are working fine with no RF problems.STRING - this appears to be cotton string used in manufacture and it cuts easily and doesn't fray.RED & WHITE CONDUCTORS - These surprised me. They appear to have a rigid plastic feel, but the outer plastic cuts away easily leaving the durable strands of copper. Also when soldering, the plastic doesn't melt or draw-up. All of the copper heats evenly and distributes the solder very well.

I liked the cost factor on this spool. I can make many mic cords for the cost of one store bought mic cord. As an example, the mic cord that went bad on me I had purchased at a local guitar store where I.paid @ $50 for that one microphone cord. Un-soldering the XLR connectors, the thickness of that cord is very comparable with this cable if not identical in thickness and guage, shielding, and leadsI wish the insulation was thicker but it feels good in hand.I soldered on the two XLR m/f connectors from the bad cord to the new cable pictured. It worked perfectly, no scratching when moving around with mic on.I also order 4 sets of XLR connectors to make 4 more mic cords all for the price of one at a music store.

I just have to say, I am blown away by this microphone and instrument cable. Not only is it super low-noise (which is a game-changer when you're working on big under-stage projects), but it's also incredibly easy to work with.What I really appreciate is how flexible it is. You can bend it and twist it to your heart's content, and it never loses any of its quality or sound. That's a big deal when you're trying to get everything set up just right for a big audio project.One thing to keep in mind is that terminating the cable requires a certain level of skill to make the solder flow properly. The cable is coated with a material that can make it a little tricky to solder, but with the right technique, it's definitely doable.Overall, I think this cable is a fantastic choice for anyone who needs a reliable and high-quality cable for their audio setup. Whether you're working on stage or in the studio, it's definitely worth considering. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Started using a year ago for some custome cables. Nice to be able to put a sleeve on to identify and secure cables. The jacket is nice and flexible and have not had a problem as of yet. These cables get used and abused in a rental house, so they get the job done.

Cable works great! Just needed to find some kind of cable that I could do some quick runs for some powered speakers and a couple of wireless microphones. Worked out great and it isn't shielded cable. Got no interference from anything and my power cords were a little close to the runs I did for the speakers.Good bang for the buck if you looking for something quick. Also got some male and female XLR's to go with all of this. Worked out great.

While not the most heavy duty cable out there, this cable does perform as advertised. I have had no serious issues so far.My only pet peeve is the inner conductors jacketing does not strip as nicely as it could. It tends to pull these wires out from the outside jacket when stripping, unlike more expensive cabling.But for light duty mic cabling it works just fine. It is great for the price, just don't expect mogami.
