If you’ve ever needed to connect an XLR device to a 1/4th inch audio device, you’ve probably needed one of these cables. On one end this cable or adapter provides a balanced XLR plug, and on the other end it offers TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) 1/4th inch plug. Be sure to select the the correct gender cables: some of these are male to male, others are male to female XLR adapters. These adapters and converters come in various lengths and types. Here are some very highly reviewed XLR cables & adapters:
