Monoprice™ Professional Audio cables bring you high performance cables at rock bottom prices. Whether you're connecting broadcast equipment, instruments for your band, or your high end entertainment system, Monoprice has the interconnect cables for you. Balanced audio cables utilize impedance balanced lines that reduce EM and RF noise and extend the effective range of the cable run. Additionally, unlike standard unbalanced RCA interconnects that utilizes their braid as a signal return, balanced cables have a separate braided shield to provide additional resistance to interference, without modulating the interference into the signal. This prevents ground loop issues. XLR to 1/4" TRS balanced pro audio cables provide high fidelity and eliminate noise in the recording studio and on the stage. Our new Premier Series cables up the ante in terms of construction quality and performance.
