I use these XLR cables to connect my amps to the balanced inputs of my processor. I can not detect any difference on any of the 7 channels when I swap out to a considerably more expensive cable. Like most premium cables, it's a waste of money to buy the expensive branded Monster, Cardas, AudioQuest, Kimber, Tributaries and the like. There are many OEM mfg's out there that sell cable at a fraction of the price and I would challenge anyone in a blind test to tell them apart. The important parts of a cable are the connections and depending on your application, the shielding.

Inexpensive balanced cables often come at a price from an audio perspective. Getting rid of the hum is the usual concern. No such problems with these cables, and since they latch in place, there's no risk of a line being pulled out by one of our stray animals or children. The color code is nice, and the 3' length is perfect for a setup where preamp and amp are adjacent to one another.

Nice cables.

Purchased these cables for two reasons: (1)I didn't have the time to make up the cables I needed for an installation, and (2)the color code makes it easy to track for quick wiring. I purchased the 6' and 3' lengths with various terminations and found the quality of the cable and connectors to be professionally fabricated. I was concerned by the description of balanced snake (thinking that they were tied together) but pleased to find that they are individually packed in separate packages. The packing also gave the added attraction of using velcro strips to fasten each cable. The cable arrived on time and save me time and money overall. I just can't say enough good things about these cable.

The cables fit in perfectly with our plan to upgrade a small stage. The length of the cables and the different colors will allow faster reconfiguration.

I've had a fairly high-end system for a couple years now and have been wanting to upgrade my current RCA interconnects to XLR but with the way things are (economy) I just couldn't justify spending several hundred dollars on high-end XLR interconnects so I thought I'd give these a try.

I'm very glad I did. I'm very please with them. The quality of the connectors is very good and after taking a couple of them apart I'm very impressed the quality of the soldering.

Musically they sound great. I'm going to try to search for adjectives to describe what I'm hearing through my speakers but I will say it's a noticeable improvement over my decent quality RCA plugs.

I gave these cables 5 stars but was tempted to ding them a star only because of the color of the cables. The colors don't coincide with the industry standard (see below) so they don't "match" some of my other interconnects. Maybe that's just me being anal retentive, and it certainly doesn't hurt the performance, but it would have been nice if they followed the rest of the industry in their color coding.

I've dealt with Orange County Speaker before and have been very happy with their service. This item was ordered Two-Day shipping and I received it the next day! Excellent service.

Great working Cables. I would recommend this seller and these cable as being an excellent buy. To me, the cables are on par with all the more expensive ones, the color coding is of great assistance. Members in my band are quite impressed with them. Service delivery was prompt--no problem there! These cables are well made and worth every penny. I ordered these cables in June 23, 2011 from Orange and was so impressed that I reordered Oct 2011. I use them for my mixer , eq, effects and direct box connections. Great Patch cables. They worked and are working so fine that I just had to order these extra sets and some others of varying lengths of this GLS product. I would to do so and use Orange County in the future once I need cables. This provider has given me excellent service and quality on each occasion that I have ordered stuff from them. Their products are of high quality! Well Done and Just great cables. Keep up the excellent standard.

Used it on my Hi system and everything was right! fit and finish was good color separation a great idea.

They do the job nicely and coloring makes them easy to connect mic preamps to a snake. They are actually individual patch cables, but they are mislabeled as "snakes." A snake usually refers to bundled cables.

Just as others have mentioned - these are very well built cables and are very well priced.
I would definitely buy more when I need more.

The seller also ships item very quickly.

I use the cables to connect our wireless mic unit to our mixing board, even though we are currently using only 4 of the cables the color coding was a GREAT idea, this way we can have each individual on their same channel and leave the settings in place without changing them, the color coding helps in knowing who is on what mic and luck has it that the cables were colored the same as the mic. Very satisfied with the quality of the cable, appears that we got a clearer sound once we changed out the other ones, (which were 15-25 foot) the shorter cables eliminated the excess cabling that we had coming from the mixing board. Once again THANK YOU for your product and look forward in doing business with you again.
