Our XLR cable uses our dual conductor cable milled in the United States. All XLRs use Neutrik Pro-Grade Nickel or Black Shells and are available with weave or no-weave if preferred. Rattlesnake Cable Company XLR cables are great for studio application and live stages. Weaving allows for a great opportunity to color-code cables and adds additional protection. If you're looking for the best XLR cable out there, look no further!

XLR cables come in a variety of pre-set lengths, but if you're interested in a custom XLR cable, please submit a custom cable request!

What is an XLR cable?

XLR stands for "External Line Return" and is typically used for connecting microphones to an interface, mixers, or other types of recording equipment. Originally, XLR was used for Cannon X series cameras in the 1950s and stood for (X=Cannon X), (L=Latching), (R=Rubber/Neoprene insulation). XLR is also known as a "balanced cable" as well and can be used for a variety of methods of sending a clean, noise-canceling signal to powered monitors. XLR plugs are also found in older speaker cabinets connecting to amplifiers.

How to connect XLR cables?

XLR cables typically have male and female ends. Depending on the equipment, this may vary. Microphones require a female XLR plug, and the interface accepts the male XLR plug. When you purchase an XLR cable from this page, we will connect a single male and a female for the XLR plugs.

How long can an XLR cable be?

The maximum length before noise is introduced is 200 feet. We offer cable lengths of up to 30 feet with a weave. If you need a longer run, we can provide longer lengths without the weave. However, the longest cable we have with a weave is 30 feet.

Home Theater and A/V Applications

Many users in the Home Theater world use XLR cables as well. If you're connecting AV processors, Power Amplifiers, and Subwoofers, you may benefit from high-quality XLR cables. Please note that XLR cables should only be used to send balanced signals. If you're connecting power amplifiers to passive speakers - a speaker cable with a higher gauge wire will need to be used.


  • Dual 20AWG 99.99% BC conductors.
  • Braided copper shield (95% coverage).
  • Cable milled in the United States.
  • Cable hand assembled in Missoula, Montana.
  • SKU: SKU-FA0DDE11

Answer
We have a variety of wire mills that we work with. All of the wire mills we work with our in the United States. We take extreme pride that our cable is milled in the United States and hand assembled here in Missoula, Montana.
Answer
No. The contacts are the same for either style of Neutrik plugs. This is strictly a cosmetic preference. There is a higher purchase cost for us on the black.
Answer
Absolutely, just fill out a custom build request. It's important to note that the longest length with weave is 30', but we can make longer XLR cables without weave (bare) at any length desired.
Answer
The weave is a poly-weave, meaning it's a plastic polymer-based weave. We use a variety of brands, but primarily TechFlex. It's designed to be heat and abrasion resistant. It is not a cloth/fabric weave, which tends to fray and stain easily.

Testimonial:

I know most on here are guitarists, but I'm coming at this as a kbd player. I generally use 2 boards for my gig. I use a Radial Key Largo for my kbd submixer. I made my own dual cable to go from my Radial tom FOH, first using electrical tape. Anyone in a warm climate will know how well that worked. Then I tried it using zip ties. Another mess. I had seen ad's for Rattlesnake and the product looked good, thought I'd reach out and see what they had to offer for a dual XLR loom. I filled out the form on line and within a half hour I received a call from Hank with a few questions. Once we resolved everything I had a computer image and a quote from Hank. Once I gave him the OK, my loom was built within an hour. I have to say, the quality and build of this product was superior to any cable I have used , including ProCo, Monster and Mogami. I was an independent sales rep in the music products industry for 35 years and this is as fine a product as I have ever seen. Next up I'm going to look at a custom loom for my keyboards. If you're on the fence about a Rattlesnake product, pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed !

Testimonial:

I found rattlesnake cables by accident. Sent them an inquiry and got a phone call literally within a half hour from Hank. He spent time on the phone with me while I explained the project I wanted to complete. The cable loom that he made for me is absolutely awesome. The quality is well above what I expected. It really solves a lot of problems I had with all my cables being loose. I'm so surprised at how much better The quality of my tone got. I didn't really believe that cables could make that much difference. But it sounds much better with these rattlesnake cables. I'm a customer for life. I also purchased a snake head guitar cable. Which I'm using for my electric and my acoustic rig. Just love the quality. Again I can't state enough how much it made a difference in my sound. I definitely got more dynamic range, especially from my acoustic guitar. Thanks again Hank. Really appreciate your time your craftsmanship and the quality of your product.

Testimonial:

There are very few companies out there from word one the customer service is absolute gold. There was an address question they reached out before they sent the order. This may seem normal. But speaking to someone who gets stuff sent to the wrong address all the time this is fabulous. Then I got my cables and they are above and beyond my expectations, they fixed an issue I was having and they are beautiful. One of my favorite companies out there. I'm actually ordering cables to replace ones I have just so I can keep buying things from them. I love supporting a company that are great people and produce. Just awesome!

What Chris S. Said...


Testimonial:

I found my first Rattlesnake instrument cable at a small shop in Orange County, Ca while visiting the area. I was impressed with the build quality and look. I opted for the copper weave. When I got home I showed it to another guitar player friend of mine and he immediately ordered a couple of his own. After several months of using it, I decided to order an XLR in copper to match. Ordering was easy on the website and I was informed each step with a confirmation, build, and shipping. When it arrived I was surprised to see an instrument cable as well. Then I saw the hand written "Thank you" note also stating that I won the daily giveaway! Amazing! Thank you for these great cables that I know I can rely on again and again!

Thoughts about our Service:

Easy ordering and well informed when it would arrive.

What was purchased:

Copper weave instrument and copper weave XLR. I also won a white weave instrument cable.

I love my new Tangerine guitar cable. It is well crafted and strong, both end, the straight and the 90 Deg ends a are wrapped in black rubber to soften the bending when in use. And the color is easy to see lowering the risk for me of tripping over the cable on stage.
