1.0 out of 5 starsThese cables are NOT 16ga. They are tiny 24ga!
September 1, 2017
I feel cheated by Monoprice. I bought these cables by Monoprice because of their stellar reputation but they are no better then cheap Chinese cables with their overrating anything electronic. These cables are marked 16ga but they are in fact 24ga. The connectors are heavy duty and very well made but when assembled with fake wiring they are worthless. Monoprice why are you still selling these fake cables a year later? I won't ask Amazon for a refund as I rebuilt the 3 cables with real rated Belkin wire.

Anyone who trusts Monoprice after this is falling for a company that has no problem with fake products.

I concur with the other reviewers that point out that Monoprice is not truthful in representing these comprise 16ga awg wire. They are 24ga awg in a thick rubber sheath. Junk. They went back to Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 starsI would not recommend this cable for attaching a shotgun mic to a ...
November 23, 2014
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 1.5ftVerified Purchase
Well constructed and does its job. But being 16AWG conductors, the outer jacket of this short cable is very thick and stiff. It's difficult to route it to the camera input without it affecting the shotgun mic position by pushing it around in the shock-mount. Therefore, I would not recommend this cable for attaching a shotgun mic to a camera if in a shockmount of any kind (including the built-in rubber mount on the handle/mixer of a Canon XA20). For my purposes, I will look for a smaller gauge cable and about 6-inches shorter, then will be perfect. For that short run smaller gauge will be just fine as long as its well braided shield.

2.0 out of 5 starstest/check your cables before use! could be shorting/grounding on the inside!
May 6, 2019
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 6ftVerified Purchase
My monoprice cable came with 2 intermittent shorts at different locations. a simple continuity test from the multimeter gave me static when I flexed the cable. Turns out the grounding braided shield had loose copper strands which pierced the 2/3 lines..
These cables have nice strong quality connectors, but the cable quality itself is poor.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is good because the thicker the cable
June 7, 2015
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 10ftVerified Purchase
I've been buying mic, guitar, and other cables for years. I've bought and used the least expensive cables up to monsters and maganmi. I bought this as a replacement for one of the cheaper ones that I acquired over the years. I must say that I was impressed before I even tested it out. This company uses high quality gold-plated locking connectors as opposed to the standard silver ones. Also, the cable itself seems to have a lower gauge (more thickness) than the majority of others. This is good because the thicker the cable, the lower chance of a bad connection or short. I cannot guarantee that it's the wires themselves that are thicker since I haven't opened it up and probably never will. ( its possible that they just thew an extra layer of insulation inside). Either way, I've used it now with no problems and will continue to buy in the future.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent cable for Canon XA10 camera and microphone
August 7, 2014
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 1.5ftVerified Purchase
UPDATE: I bought another years ago. I used it for close-ups when the commentator spoke on camera at a distance. This 1 1/2 foot cord then went to a TR-40 digital recorder concealed in their coat.

I also used it when we did field interviews with a Shure 58 on a 10 foot cord. The cord took serious abuse. Dropped. Twisted. On the floor of trucks. Hanging on my shoulder as I ran with the camera and tripod.

It finally developed a crackling. Sometimes, when it is moved in some directions. However, considering the abuse, I do not fault the manufacturer. I ordered another to replace the slightly broken cord.

This is a good cord for the price -- however, it is not invulnerable.

THE PAST REVIEW -------------

A dancer received an opportunity to travel free to Estonia --- if she worked as a video camera operator for a dance festival.

A Canon XA10 video camera came with the assignment. But only a microphone with a 1/8th inch jack. The lower quality microphone negated the XLR features of the XA10.

I ordered an AKG 170 and a Monoprice 104749 1.5 foot XLR cable. A short cable is required --- the cable must wrap around the microphone to avoid snags moving through crowds, markets, forests.

The cable proved excellent. No rattles, no audio cracks, pure through-put of audio signal from the excellent AKG 170.

Demonstration of microphone and cable at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_v1DyQBk-I

Some wind noise. Didn't have time to make a windscreen for the AKG.

5.0 out of 5 starsSome of the best cables
April 25, 2019
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 1.5ftVerified Purchase
I hold these cables as the best short connection/patch cable out there. Incredibly well built, with no cost spared on the gold plating or the highly durable connectors. The sound is great, and I have probably bought dozens of these.

5.0 out of 5 starsHigh quality construction, sound great too!
June 29, 2019
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 1.5ftVerified Purchase
Using these as interconnects between my SMSL-SU8 DAC and MassDrop THX 789 Amp. The construction is very solid and they seem durable. They are also flexible enough to use in a short application like I am from the DAC to AMP. Monoprice cables are great!

Dishonest cable specification. The 16awg is only one cable of the three.
