Hosa CMK-003AU 3' Edge Series XLR3F to XLR3M Microphone Cable

Product Overview

The Hosa CMK-003AU is a 3 ft Hosa Edge Series XLR microphone cable built for short, point-blank runs between a microphone and a nearby mic preamp, stage box, or interface. As a Neutrik XLR microphone cable terminated XLR3F to XLR3M, it delivers balanced audio with strong EMI/RFI rejection in tight signal chains. Its low capacitance microphone cable design preserves high-frequency detail even on the shortest patches. This 3 ft length is ideal for desktop podcast rigs, drum overhead patching, and rack-to-panel connections.

Product Description

Hosa Edge Microphone Cables are engineered to deliver a lifetime of consistent, noise-free performance. The CMK-003AU pairs genuine Neutrik connectors with precision manufacturing to produce a clean, reliable signal path for studio recording, live stage work, and conference or AV room installations.

The cable uses 20 AWG OFC mic cable conductors with low-capacitance wire for clear high-frequency transmission and a strong signal-to-noise ratio. A 95% OFC braided shield rejects interference, making this a dependable balanced microphone cable for studio and stage use. At 3 ft, it keeps slack to a minimum on close-quarter setups where cable management matters.

The genuine Neutrik XLR3F and XLR3M connectors provide a secure, durable mating cycle after cycle, which matters in installations that are patched and re-patched often. For longer runs in the same family, compare the CMK-005AU 5 ft or the CMK-020AU 20 ft. You can browse the full Hosa collection for matching cables and accessories.
