The XLR-to-XLR may be louder, the same, or quieter, however, the difference will be insignificant. The advantage is absolute lowest possible noise levels relative to common RCA-to-RCA connections.Aug 25, 2014
Do XLR cables sound better?
XLR cables are balanced audio cables, while RCA cables are unbalanced. This means that XLR is better for long distances, high outputs, and noisy environments. RCA cables can be better for short distances, and they are cheaper, but as a general rule, XLR cables are better audio cables than RCA.
Is XLR louder than TRS?
When I use TRS cables, the microphones are very quiet, but when I use XLR cables, they are much louder – on the same channel/same volume setting. The XLR circuit power boost is "after the microphone"- it does not provide power to the microphone, it is not to be confused with the phantom power.
Is XLR better than Jack?
XLR typically gives you a 'balanced' connection, whereas the Jack connection is unbalanced. An unbalanced connection is very susceptible to electromagnetic interference – the mains hum you get from a guitar plugged into an amp, for example.
Do longer XLR cables sound worse?
Why the XLR Cable Length Matters Generally, properly designed XLR cables are made to work best at specific lengths. Longer cables increase the chances of picking up noise, disturb frequency signals, and affect sound quality, while shorter ones produce better quality sound.
How can I make my XLR mic sound better?
So, without further ado, here are 7 tips that will help you get better voice recordings:
- Turn off anything noisy in the room. …
- Keep the microphone OFF your desk, if possible. …
- Keep your microphone with its back turned towards any noise source. …
- Keep your microphone within a few inches of your mouth.
Are XLR cables worth it?
SOS Technical Editor Hugh Robjohns replies: The short answer is no, they're very unlikely to sound any better. The longer answer is that there are complexities and subtleties involved that can, in specific circumstances, conspire to affect the sound when using different types of cables and connectors.
Why is XLR so good?
The makings of a good microphone will be one which has balanced signals, even over long distances. The real selling point that makes the XLR so beloved by tech-nerds is that it removes the background noise you don't want to hear while making what you do want to hear, that much cleaner.
Is it better to use XLR or TRS?
I recommend using an XLR cable for any type of microphone recording when possible, especially when using a condenser mic. TRS is usually best when running lines out of gear into recording hardware or patch bays as long as your equipment accepts balanced connections.
