Zoom XLR Microphone Cables with Color ID Rings

The Zoom XLR-4c/CP is a four-cable microphone kit with matching colour ID rings, supplied as four 2.5 m XLR cables and eight rings. Buy this XLR cable set in Canada from Filmgear Canada, Vancouver’s cinema equipment and pro audio specialist.

Product Overview

A panel podcast needs more than enough inputs: the operator also needs to know which guest is connected to each channel. XLR-4c/CP gives you four microphone cables and a matching ring for each end of every cable. The red, orange, yellow and green pairs make it easier to trace a connection from the microphone back to the recorder or mixer. Each black cable measures 2.5 m, or approximately 8.2 ft, with a 3-pin female XLR at one end and a 3-pin male XLR at the other. Plan your microphone positions and recorder location around that individual cable length, leaving slack for movement and a tidy route around the table.

Key Features

Four microphone connections

Use the four low-noise cables for a multi-microphone podcast or music session. Zoom specifies heavy-duty XLR connectors. The kit supplies the connections; microphones, recording inputs and recording equipment are separate purchases.

Colour matching at both ends

Fit one ring to each connector and keep a written channel list for your guests or instruments. Four pairs provide eight rings in red, orange, yellow and green. Matching the two ends helps you follow a cable without unplugging it during setup.

2.5 m per cable

Measure the route rather than the straight-line distance. Allow for microphone stands, the edge of the table and the recorder position. Choose a longer XLR connector cable when the safe route exceeds 2.5 m instead of pulling a short lead tight.

3-pin female to male XLR

This is an XLR to XLR cable set for microphone connections to appropriate XLR audio inputs. Match the microphone output and receiving input before buying; a colour ring does not convert a connector or add an input channel.

How It Compares

Choose this pack when you need four complete microphone leads and colour identification together. Choose identification rings alone when you already own suitable cables. A single cable is enough for one connection; a longer cable is a better choice when the microphones sit beyond the included 2.5 m reach.

Who Is This For?

For panel podcasters, musicians and small recording teams managing several XLR microphones close to a mixer or recorder. It also suits a compact studio that wants to identify the two ends of each cable quickly.
