With rise of home recording studios, we are very excited to be offering our Balanaced Monitor Cables. These are great cables to run from your interface or mixer to your powered monitors.

We're providing a variety of standard lengths to help manage the cable clutter. Also, take advange of our weave colors to help keep track of what's going on behind your studio work area. If you're requiring a custom Balanced Monitor Cable patch, please send us a custom cable requesst!

The cable used is our dual conductor Rattlesnake Cable with braided internal shield. We use Neutrik TRS and XLR plugs with these builds. If it's time to upgrade your Balanced Monitor Patch cables, this is a great product. A reminder this is not to be used with unpowered monitors. If you're needing something between an amp and an unpowered monitor, please view our Speaker Cable option.


  • Dual 20AWG stranded 99.99% BC conductors.
  • Braided copper shield (95% coverage).
  • Cable milled in the United States.
  • Cable hand-assembled in Missoula, Montana.
  • SKU: SKU-643D8F9D

Answer
No. This should be only used with powered monitors. These cables are designed to pass 'signal' not power. If you're requiring a cable to be between a power amp and an unpowered monitor or speaker, you should be using speaker cables.

The clarity of sound is noticeable. Built with high quality materials!

What Armand L. Said...


Testimonial:

Had my eye on Rattlesnake Cables for a while - originally for instrument cables. I have a home recording project coming up quickly and decided to give Rattlesnake a go for some very important cables (studio monitors, sub, and mics). It's nice to have cables I can trust to have a long life (and lifelong warranty) especially since the quality of cable will have an effect on what's heard through the monitors AND what the mic picks up. Really stoked on this purchase and to support a great maker.

Thoughts about our Service:

Hank went above and beyond when I needed to make a quick change on the length of cable. Really appreciate a company that makes quality stuff, made to order by hand, and really easy to contact and talk to a human being instead of bot or AI.

What was purchased:

XLRs and TRS cables

What Trent S. Said...


Testimonial:

Great cables! Lighting fast shipping!

Thoughts about our Service:

Absolutely stellar!

What was purchased:

Purchased a pair of balanced/xlr cables for my home system.

What Anthony S. Said...


Testimonial:

Received my cables and immediately used them in both studio and live situations. Love the sturdiness from tip to tip. Easy to maintain and wrap quickly. Totally, I feel like they are far clearer than my basic cables. Super clean signal with no loss at all. I've used the instrument cables on both keys and guitars and I to home studio set-up, live rigs and rehearsal rooms. They're perfect. Looks like I'll be replacing my aging cables piece by piece with rattlesnake.

Thoughts about our Service:

Excellent communication.

What was purchased:

XLR cable.
balanced TRS 1/4" cable
Instrument cable (t/s).

What Matthew J. Said...


Testimonial:

Rattle Snake Cable Company is the only place I will go to for all of my audio cabling needs from now on. They produce high quality equipment that looks and feels great. You really can hear the difference on stage and in the studio. Not only do I feel confident that I am getting high quality equipment, their knowledge base, FAQ and item descriptions also ensure that I am selecting the correct cable for each application. When I had a question they answered it quickly, and their packaging and shipping is the best I have ever experienced. I am so glad to have found them.

Thoughts about our Service:

Fantastic. The site is easy to use and informative and I feel that I can ask questions via email if I need help. And your business feels friendly and inviting.

What was purchased:

I am purchasing cables both for on stage and my little basement studio. Many of the cables I have now are old and inexpensive, and not always the right one for the application (i.e. an instrument cable where I should have a TRS). I have purchased snakehead instrument cables (the midnight purple looks great), balanced monitor cables, TRS cables, an ABY box (I've had two fail in the last few years), and a couple of pick tins...

What Johnny C. Said...


Testimonial:

First let me say that package was immaculate. They go above and beyond about their product and presentation. Thats a huge win for me. The cables I ordered are for my studio monitors, XLR to 1/4" jack. Construction is extremely durable and I know these will last a long time. Hank and his team brought me on to the artist roster and I'm forever grateful for them. I will continue to keep purchasing all my cable needs for them.

Thoughts about our Service:

Absolutely flawless

What was purchased:

10 foot, XLR Male TRS Balanced to 1/4" male Balanced

I can't say enough about the exceptional quality of Rattlesnake Cables nor the customer service from Hank and his team. Owning some of the most expensive top of the line Fender Bass guitars and Mark Bass heads and cabinets, I feel you're only as good as the weakest link and every tiny detail matters, thus why my connecting cables need to be the very highest quality and construction. Rattlesnake is my high end cable CHOICE and investment, always exceeding my demands with cabling, stunning woven covers, heavy oversized "snakehead" gold connectors that are angled for flawless signals in my equipment. Warrantied for life but I always carry an extra Rattlesnake in my arsenal when at an event. If you are serious about your sound and passionate about music, then you need Rattlesnake, a brand that's making an impactful name for themselves against their competitors. When I arrive and unpack my gear, it's exciting to open up my cloth carrying bag and pull out a very heavy Rattlesnake to complete my look and sound that makes a biting statement with the first to the very last note. Everyone loves a beautiful Rattlesnake siting and can't keep their eyes, nor ears off of it, clearly something different than a made in China connector cable. No static, no hiss, no hum, no popping, no noise drops, no tangling, just pure sound of thunder coming from my basses on my Rattesnake's. I've never experienced better personalized service from anywhere like that from Hank and Rattlesnake, neither will you. I dare you to try them and tell me otherwise. This is not a paid endorsement, simply a true and honest testimonial Rattlesnake earned. Factual! My rating, an easy deserved, six out of a possible five stars!

Quick story: My new puppy tried to chew a Rattlesnake braided cable, not getting very far, but rendering it useless. Was going to try and splice it due to its value, but instead I sent Hank an email. He not only replaced the cable with a brand new one over a year after I bought it, he even sent doggie chew treats in the box! Are you kidding? Who does this? Top quality gear, best service on the planet, it's Rattlesnake Cable Company, proudly made in USA too.

I purchased two cables, separately, including one regular instrument cable and one “snake head” instrument cable. Both orders were easy to place online and arrived quickly. The cables were well packaged and included a cable tie on each. These cables are well made and work great. The options when ordering certainly cater to most needs. The company is responsive and communicative. I would definitely recommend Rattlesnake Cables and will gladly purchase from them again.
