Hosa HMIC-003 3' Pro Series XLRF to XLRM Microphone Cable

Product Overview

The Hosa HMIC-003 is a 3 ft Hosa Pro Series XLR microphone cable built for short patch runs at the rack, the desk, and the near-field studio position. As a balanced XLR mic cable terminated with a REAN XLR microphone cable connector set, it carries balanced audio between microphones, preamps, and patch points with low noise. This XLR3F to XLR3M microphone cable uses 20 AWG OFC microphone cable conductors and a 90% braided shield to keep the signal-to-noise ratio high over its compact 3 ft length.

Product Description

At 3 ft, the HMIC-003 is sized for tight, repeatable connections: tying a condenser mic into a desktop interface for podcasting, jumping between adjacent rack units, or dressing a clean signal path inside a studio bay. The cable terminates in REAN XLR connectors by Neutrik AG, with silver-plated contacts and zinc die-cast housings that hold up to repeated patching. The 20 AWG x 2 OFC conductors and 90% OFC braided shield deliver strong EMI/RFI rejection even in dense rack and console environments. A chuck-type strain relief anchors the conductors at each connector to resist pull-out during frequent re-patching. For integrators specifying near-field or rack runs, this is a professional microphone cable for live sound and recording where short, durable jumpers matter. Need a bit more reach? Compare the HMIC-005 (5 ft) and the HMIC-010 (10 ft) in the same family. Browse the full Hosa collection for matching lengths and accessories.

Key Features

• REAN XLR Connectors by Neutrik AG — The XLR3F to XLR3M Neutrik REAN mic cable terminations provide a secure, professional-grade balanced connection at both ends.
• Silver-Plated Contacts — Silver-plated connector contacts lower contact resistance to support clean signal transfer across the balanced pair.
• 20 AWG OFC Conductors — Two 20 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors carry a strong, low-loss balanced audio signal over the cable's length.
• 90% OFC Braided Shield — The dense braided shield improves EMI/RFI rejection and raises the signal-to-noise ratio in electrically noisy rack and stage environments.
• Zinc Die-Cast Housing — The rugged zinc die-cast connector housing protects the terminations through repeated patching and handling.
• Chuck-Type Strain Relief — Chuck-type strain relief clamps the cable jacket to resist pull-out and extend service life during frequent re-patching.
