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.

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.

Good sound quality.
However the female connector broke (release clip snapped) after about 10 uses and 25 days after support ended.

Stopped working after a few uses. I used it on my microphone about 3 Sunday’s and it stopped working. I was very disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot well shielded
May 31, 2015
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 1.5ftVerified Purchase
Allowed static from nearby electronics into my audio. Swapped to a different cable and had almost no interference. Shooting on location in a Manhattan office for several days with a lot of nearby electronic equipment and this cable did not provide shielding adequate to prevent static sounds entering my audio. Would not recommend.

i might not have received exactly what i ordered. although it was 1.5 foot xlr cable, it was not gold plated so certainly don't buy for the "quality" of gold cables, but price and size and so far dependability match.

2.0 out of 5 starsGreat feel, bad sound

Introduced noticeable buzz into signal, fixed by replacing some extra XLR a sound engineer friend had laying around. Connectors seemed overly bulky but solid and well made.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot 16AWG conductors
January 14, 2014
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 6ftVerified Purchase
I realize these cables are primarily for microphone use. However wheelchair chargers also use the same XLR plugs.
I needed an extension for the dc side of a wheelchair charger. 16 AWG would have been big enough to handle the 10A from the charger.
The first time I used the cable, it burned through. When I cut into the cable, the interior wires measured to be only 24 AWG.
This cable looks to be a nice microphone cable but it is definitely NOT 16 AWG.

2.0 out of 5 starsand as much as I feel like I overpaid that one is still going strong
May 24, 2016
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 6ftVerified Purchase
Cables are only ever used in my home "studio" (calling it a studio is a stretch) and they still managed to fail after a year or two. I bought an overpriced cable at guitar center before buying this one, and as much as I feel like I overpaid that one is still going strong.

January 23, 2015
Style: Premier SeriesLength: 6ftVerified Purchase
This cable is permanently stuck in my Tascam DR-60D mk i

I do not know how to remove it, so I just left it their. Any tips or tricks to get this out of my recorder will be greatly appreciated.

Sound quality is alright, mild humming noise in my recordings at higher amps/gains.

2.0 out of 5 starsShorting and loud crackling.

Mic cable failed in less than a year. Sounds less full than I expected for 16 gauge, like 18 g speaker wire vs 10. My subjective opinion.
