Description
This XLR 128 cable from Real Cable is a stereo interconnect cable designed to connect two audio devices fitted with balanced XLR connections, such as a source and a preamplifier or a preamplifier and a power amplifier.
It is built around an oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor, a material recognised for limiting signal losses caused by oxidation. The cable features double shielding, designed to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve the quality of the signal transmitted along the full length of the cable. The plugs are monoblock metal with gold contacts, a treatment that promotes good electrical conductivity and limits oxidation of the contact points over time. The soldering is done by hand, with silver, a process favoured for its connection reliability.
This type of cable is aimed at users of hi-fi systems fitted with balanced connections, seeking a stable link between the components of their audio chain, particularly when the cables need to span a considerable distance or pass through an electrically noisy environment.
What to check before buying used
The contact points of the XLR plugs deserve a visual and manual check: pins not bent, firm locking and no signs of oxidation on the gold-plated inserts. The condition of the sheath and the solder joints at the end caps should also be checked, as repeated bending or storage coiled too tightly can weaken the internal shielding over time. An ear test along the full length of the cable, while slightly moving the connectors, helps detect a loose contact or crackling linked to a worn solder joint.
