XLR audio cable RØDE XLR-6 — 6 m, XLR female to XLR male, pink

RØDE XLR-6 is a 6 m XLR audio cable with an XLR female connector on one end and an XLR male connector on the other, engineered for balanced microphone and line-level connections. The cable uses professional-grade Canare™ cabling and Neutrik® connectors to deliver low-noise, clean signal transfer for studio microphones, mixers, audio interfaces and live sound setups. The pink jacket provides easy visual identification for colour-coded systems and stage or studio routing.

Advantages

This XLR cable provides a standard 3-pin balanced connection suitable for most professional audio equipment. Construction combines Canare™ cable conductors and Neutrik® metal connectors to minimise interference and maintain signal integrity across the 6 m length. Rugged strain relief and durable connector housings reduce wear at termination points, and the colour option simplifies channel or input identification when used with colour-coded consoles and interfaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting studio microphones to audio interfaces or preamps
• Linking mixers, consoles and outboard gear with balanced XLR inputs/outputs
• Stage and live sound setups requiring colour-coded cable runs
• Podcasting and broadcast setups using RØDE equipment with colour-coded inputs

Key specifications

• Length: 6 m
• Connector configuration: XLR female to XLR male (3-pin, straight)
• Cabling: professional-grade Canare™ multi-core cable
• Connectors: Neutrik® XLR metal housings with strain relief
• Shielding: designed for low noise and minimal interference
• Colour: pink jacket for visual identification

How to use

Connect the XLR female end to the microphone or the device output that provides an XLR connection, and connect the XLR male end to the mixer, preamp, audio interface or other receiving device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locked where applicable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinching or proximity to mains power cables to preserve signal quality. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no additional configuration for balanced audio connections.

Recommendations

For best signal quality, route the cable separately from high-voltage power lines and avoid coiling tightly; secure with velcro or cable ties if necessary. Use the pink colour to match or mark corresponding inputs on colour-coded consoles, such as RØDECaster Pro II, to simplify setup and troubleshooting.
