Product Overview
The Hosa CMK-005AU is a 5 ft Hosa Edge Series XLR microphone cable sized for short runs at the lectern, desktop, or stage edge where a microphone meets a nearby mic preamp or stage box. Terminated XLR3F to XLR3M with genuine Neutrik connectors, this Neutrik XLR microphone cable carries balanced audio with reliable EMI/RFI rejection. The low capacitance microphone cable construction keeps high-frequency detail intact across the run. A 5 ft length suits podium mics, instrument patching, and conference room AV connections.
Product Description
Hosa Edge Microphone Cables are engineered to deliver a lifetime of consistent, noise-free performance. The CMK-005AU combines genuine Neutrik connectors with precise manufacturing to provide a clean signal path for studio recording, live stage use, and conference or AV room installations.

The cable is built around 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 applications. At 5 ft, it offers a small amount of slack while keeping clutter down in tight install spaces.

The genuine Neutrik XLR3F and XLR3M connectors hold a secure mating over many connect and disconnect cycles, which is valuable in rooms that are reconfigured regularly. If your layout calls for more reach, compare the CMK-003AU 3 ft or the CMK-020AU 20 ft. The full Hosa collection lists matching cables and accessories.
Key Features
- Genuine Neutrik Connectors — The XLR3F and XLR3M ends are authentic Neutrik components that provide a secure connection and long service life across repeated patching.
- Low-Capacitance Conductors — The low-capacitance wire preserves high-frequency detail so vocals and instruments retain clarity over the run.
- 20 AWG OFC Conductors — Oxygen-free copper conductors deliver efficient signal transfer and a strong signal-to-noise ratio.
- 95% OFC Braided Shield — The dense braided shield provides effective EMI/RFI rejection in electrically noisy environments.
- Balanced XLR3F to XLR3M Wiring — The balanced configuration cancels common-mode noise across the run, protecting low-level mic signals.
- Practical 5 ft Length — This short run gives modest slack while keeping cable clutter low at podiums, desks, and stage edges.
