Review on ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Red LyxPro 50ft XLR Microphone Cable - Balanced Male to Female 3-Pin Mic Cord for Powered Speakers, Audio Interfaces, Pro Performance, and Recording Devices by Tim Rushing

Revainrating 3 out of 5

terrible for performing - stage and studio cables

I'm performing. I don't use them in my home studio. I have 5 of these: 2 green (one 30ft, one 15ft), 1 red (30ft), 1 yellow (30ft) and 1 blue (30ft). You sound good. The sound is not the reason for my rating. I've learned that they're great for the home studio where you need to troubleshoot from time to time or have people come and go just to hook up your fully configured system. It's terrible for concerts. Every time I tune I unwind the cables that I carefully coiled up after the last gig. I even splice the ends of the XLRs so they don't get tangled in transit. But every time I try to unwrap them, they get tangled. And they turn inward, so no amount of smoothing and twisting can really relax them. It drives me crazy trying to set it up. I did notice a bit with the green but thought maybe I was being too rough with it and promised myself I would be very gentle with the red, yellow and blue but it wasn't a problem and I was spending time and money on it. So disappointing.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Too long to wait
