Double shielded cable

Match the signal type, required connectors, length, and shielding quality to your audio setup. For microphones and balanced audio, a double shielded cable with XLR connectors helps minimize noise when connected to a mixer or PA system. Check for double braided shielding, gold-plated connectors, and a durable jacket from brands like EBXYA or UNITRONIC. Consider the environment and length; longer runs benefit from heavier shielding and sturdy construction. Look for cables designed for low noise in venues such as churches or recording studios.

Double braided shielding provides extra EMI/RFI rejection, keeping signal integrity in noisy environments. It reduces hum and buzz, especially on longer runs and around multiple electronic devices. In practice, cables with double braided shielding and gold-plated connectors deliver consistently low-noise performance for mixers and PA systems. This is a key reason professionals choose double shielded cables for critical audio tasks.

Beginners should start with a shorter, easy-to-use double shielded cable with reliable XLR ends to minimize setup complexity. Pros typically require longer runs and tougher construction, such as heavy-duty double shielded cables for stages or studios. Our range includes shorter options for simple setups and longer, heavy-duty versions to cover extended runs, all featuring double braided shielding and gold-plated connectors for low-noise performance. This approach helps you scale from basic to professional setups without changing cables mid-project.

Start by matching the connector type (XLR or other) to your gear and ensure the cable’s shielding remains intact. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or pulling on the cable, and store it loosely coiled to preserve shielding. Clean metal connectors with a dry cloth and check for corrosion on gold-plated contacts. A double shielded cable will typically be compatible with standard audio interfaces like mixers and PA gear, but verify connector gender and impedance for long runs in professional environments.

Look for the shielding type (double braided shielding is common in high-quality double shielded cables), conductor material (oxygen-free copper is preferred for purity), jacket material (nylon or PVC for durability), and connector options (XLR, 3.5 mm, 1/4 inch) to suit your gear. Length options from compact to long (10 ft, 50 ft) let you tailor performance to the space. In our catalog you’ll find brands like EBXYA, GreenCAT8, and UNITRONIC offering double shielded cables designed for low noise in audio applications such as live sound and recording.
