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 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.

What Craig B. Said...


Testimonial:

I want a color for my XLR cable that I couldn't seem to find on big box websites such as Amazon or Walmart, so I decided to try Rattlesnake. The ability to make a custom cable with the "Sage" weave color was the perfect XLR cable I was looking for. I saw Rattlesnake Cable Company originally from an Instagram ad and it struck me that they are a small business. The video I got in my email inbox immediately after I made the purchase is what struck me. Hank was very welcoming and said that if I had any questions to ask him or any of the Rattlesnake team. This is exactly why we should support our small businesses. Because it's the little stuff that counts.

Thoughts about our Service:

Flawless.

What was purchased:

Custom Rattlesnake 6' XLR Cable with a Sage Weave, Black Female Neutrik connector and Black Male Neutrik connector.

What Mike K. Said...


Testimonial:

Thanks to Hank and the Rattlesnake Cable Company! https://www.rattlesnakecables.com/ Regardless if you buy Rattlesnake products, or win them, the product arrives with the same attention to detail and pride. With my first order, Hank sent a personalized video saying thanks for the purchase. A little pad with a personal note is also sent. It's little things like this that make Rattlesnake Cable Company a great company. The fact that they also have great products also helps. For this cable, I won it and the attention to detail was still there. I will be a customer for life!

Hank and the Rattlesnake Cable Company have always exceeded my expectations!

What was purchased:

Standard cable, custom XLR cable and various patch cables

What Rick S. Said...


Testimonial:

I submitted a plan for a loom to Rattlesnake, and within hours had a phone call from the owner, Hank. He had questions about my design and made some excellent suggestions that I hadn't thought of. Within just a few minutes of our conversation he had sent a plan for my approval and I placed my order, thinking it would take several weeks to build and ship my lo. Surprise! Within a day or so the product was built and shipped, and I had it in my hands just a few days after I originally made contact. These cables are heavy duty, beautifully made and will last longer than I will, I'm sure. I'm now on a mission to replace all of my stage cables with Rattlesnake. You can spend a lot less on cables-and be sorry you did-but you can also spend a lot more, but you won't find a better product out there. Believe me, once you buy one, you'll want more.

Thoughts about our Service:

Their customer service is absolutely exemplary. Communication is excellent, turnaround on orders is quick (especially amazing since nearly every product is a custom build) and you can't find a better cable. Believe me, Rattlesnake is the real deal.

What was purchased:

Four cable loom, guitar cables, XLR cables.
