J&D 3 Pin XLR Female to 5 Pin XLR Male Audio Cable, 2-Pack 5 Pin to 3 Pin DMX Lighting Cable for Microphone DMX Stage Light Turnaround, 30 cm

Essential leads good quality

Good quality cables and perfect for my new Mic, probably a bit short for what I need to do with it but proves the concept I'm thinking about.2 cables for £12.99 is a pretty good price for this quality, the release button are usually the weak are on these types of cables about these work well.Nice

OK, the description, calling this and audio and DMX cable, is a bit confusing.If audio equipment is using 5 pin XLR it is probably a stereo mic or a specialist mic that requires extra power. These would have their own breakout cable and this cable won't help. I would ignore all mentions of microphones, amplifiers and audio mixers.The cable is correctly wired for DMX to swap between 3 pin and 5 pin connectors. The construction is good and, if you open up the connectors, the contacts are accessible making the cables easily repairable.I would consider these DMX cables except, confusingly, the cable used is labelled professional audio / video cable so most likely has an impedance of 50 to 75 ohms rather than the 110 ohms required for DMX. Practically, such short lengths would hopefully not cause significant signal degradation.Priced at £12.34 for two, they're not cheap for a somewhat confused cable.
