5x (Five) SWAMP Classic Series - XLR Mic Cable - BULK BUY - 5m

Set of Five (5x) SWAMP Classic Series XLR Microphone Cable - Balanced Mic Lead
The SWAMP Classic Series XLR microphone cable is a reliable, balanced mic lead designed for professional audio applications including live performance, recording, and production setups. It features the same high-quality cable used in our Stage Series, ensuring excellent signal transfer and noise rejection—while utilizing cost-effective connectors to deliver unbeatable value.

Classic Switchcraft-Style XLR Connectors
Fitted with generic but proven Classic Switchcraft-Style XLR connectors, the Classic Series recalls a familiar design popular throughout the 1990s. The connector body is slightly longer than modern alternatives, which may limit its use in tight spaces such as recessed mixer sockets or compact stage boxes. However, this design remains a favourite for its rugged simplicity and mechanical reliability. These connectors help reduce the overall cost while still offering a secure, dependable connection.

Low Noise, Balanced Cable Design
Constructed using SWAMP’s SMC-208 audio cable, this lead features two 24AWG conductors (0.22mm²) with polyethylene insulation, a twisted pair configuration, and a spiral-wrapped ground shield. The spiral shield design offers excellent noise rejection while providing greater flexibility than traditional braided shields—ideal for the demands of live stage use. A thick 6.5mm O.D. PVC outer jacket further enhances durability and handling, making it equally suited for studio environments.

Looking for Higher-Grade Options?
In addition to the Classic Series, SWAMP also offers higher-grade XLR cable options to suit different budgets and professional needs:

• Stage Series: Uses the same SMC-208 cable, but upgraded with genuine REAN connectors, manufactured by Neutrik’s Ningbo factory—offering enhanced reliability and finish.
• Pro-Line Series: Built with premium SMC-203 cable, which features a braided ground shield for superior noise rejection and shielding effectiveness. Though slightly less flexible than spiral-shielded options, it's ideal for studio, broadcast, and critical recording applications. These cables are fitted with authentic Neutrik AG connectors from Neutrik's European factory, delivering top-tier performance and longevity.
