Monoprice XLR Female to RCA Male Cable – 3 ft, Gold-Plated, Shielded Premier Series

Meet a cable designed to bridge balanced and unbalanced audio paths with clarity and build quality you can feel. The Monoprice Premier Series XLR Female to RCA Male cable runs 3 feet long in a sleek black jacket, with gold plated connectors on both ends for a premium touch. Inside, two 16 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors are arranged in a twisted pair, and the full length is shielded by copper braid that delivers 97.5% coverage. The standard XLR pinout maps pins 1 and 3 to the RCA shield and pin 2 to the RCA tip, maintaining a familiar, reliable signal path.

Premium craftsmanship for dependable signal transfer

From the tactile feel of the connectors to the smooth copper braid beneath the jacket, the Premier Series emphasizes durability and consistency.
