Monoprice The range of professional audio cables offers you high performance cables at low prices. Whether youre connecting broadcast devices, instruments for your band or your high-end entertainment system, Monoprice has the connection cables for you. Balanced audio cables use impedance-balanced lines that reduce EM and RF noise and extend the effective range of cable run. In addition, unlike conventional unbalanced RCA connections that use their braid as signal return, balanced cables have a separate braided shield to provide additional resistance to interference without modulating the interference into the signal. This prevents problems with the ground loop. Our XLR (male to female) cables continue our tradition of providing the highest quality cables at the best prices. These cables feature thick, heavy wires, gold-plated connectors and sturdy connector housings.
