These 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.

test/check your cables before use! could be shorting/grounding on the inside!

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.

NIce HD cables, shielded, sound is clean. DON"T buy cheapos for XLR semi-pro sound... ever. THESE aren't cheapest, they're close to the best !

Works as expected. The cable has a nice weight to it which gives me confidences that it will last long when I take it to events. 6 ft is exactly the length I wanted to be for my interviews.

Hook up between microphone and camera or audio recorder. No problems. Looks to be very durable. Not flimsy.

Love the durability of these cables!! The ends are strong and the cable is very well insulated! They don't feel cheap at all! Will definitely purchase more!

Works perfect. Not an expert on XLR cables, but can tell you they work perfectly with no problems.. Great quality in my opinion..!! One thing I did notice on these fine cables over some others, they snapped easily onto/into the mic..!!
