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.

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 Mike H. Said...


Testimonial:

I travel a lot and all my gear gets a lot of wear and tear, but especially my cables. The amount of times they get plugged/unplugged in a week going from show to show and back home? Tons. Rattlesnake Cables are tough, durable, and insanely high quality. Plus I'm a sucker for good packaging. When they arrived (quickly I might add), the presentation and unboxing experience were superb. Hank and his team have been so helpful and accommodating. They're quick to respond and just generally good people!

Thoughts about our Service:

Hank and the team have been incredibly helpful, accommodating, and prompt every step of the way! Great people here.

What Rick S. Said...


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 !

Thoughts about our Service:

Best I've seen

What was purchased:

30' dual XLR loom

What Christopher G. Said...


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.

Thoughts about our Service:

Flawless. Answered all my questions immediately on email. Phone called me within a half hour of my message on their website. The customer service really sets them apart.

What was purchased:

10 foot snake head guitar cable in blue

20 foot XLR loom. Three cables to use through my effects loop and input of my amp.

What Robert H. Said...


Testimonial:

I stumbled onto the Rattlesnake video on Facebook and decided to try a 4 cable loom. The customer service was incredible and the product was superb.

Thoughts about our Service:

Hank was amazing. From the order to the phone call and ultimately the video emailed to me. I have never experienced such great customer service.

What was purchased:

I purchased a 4 cable loom 1/4 x XLR and plan on ordering more cables in the future.

What Trent S. Said...

Hank and his small staff at Rattlesnake Cable Company have won me over. I will never by a cable from another company ever again. The quality is unrivaled. The craftsmanship is extraordinary. And the attention detail in both cable and the buying process is exactly what you'd expect from a 5 Star company. I even received a quick Thank You video from Hank after purchasing my first custom cable. I play solo acoustic guitar gigs so my signal has to be impeccable. Rattlesnake literally improved my rig with just cables!
