Mogami GOLD-DB25-XLRF-10 8-Channel DB25 to XLR Female Cable

The Mogami GOLD-DB25-XLRF-10 is a 10-foot, 8-channel analog breakout cable for studio recording interfaces, consoles, and patchbays with a DB25 analog connection. It terminates in one lockable male DB25 connector and eight 3-pin female XLR connectors. This model is intended to organize multiple balanced analog audio paths in one cable assembly.

It is a practical choice for connecting a DB25-equipped interface or patchbay to equipment fitted with male XLR outputs. The eight-channel fan-out avoids using eight separate cables and keeps related channels grouped together. Its industry-standard analog DB25 wiring is intended for compatible multichannel analog equipment.

The cable uses individually twisted, shielded pairs to carry each channel separately. Each pair includes a drain wire and spiral bare-copper shield, helping support orderly analog signal routing in studio and live-recording setups. Numbered and color-coded conductors make individual channels easier to identify during installation or service.

Mogami's W2932 multicore construction uses XLPE insulation and a flexible PVC outer jacket. The compact 8-channel cable measures approximately 0.453 inches in overall diameter, supporting routing behind racks, through furniture openings, or between nearby equipment. Metal DB25 hardware with thumb screws provides a secured connection at the interface end.

Use the GOLD-DB25-XLRF-10 where a DB25 analog output or input needs to break out to eight female XLR connections over a 10-foot run. It fits well in systems built around multichannel converters, recording interfaces, analog consoles, and patchbays. Confirm both the connector genders and the DB25 analog pinout of the connected equipment before ordering.

Key Features

• Eight Analog Channels: Routes eight analog audio channels through one DB25 breakout cable.
• DB25 to XLR Female: Connects one male DB25 plug to eight female XLR connectors.
• 10-Foot Length: Provides a 10-foot, or 3-meter, equipment-to-equipment cable run.
• Individually Shielded Pairs: Separates channels with twisted pairs, drain wires, and spiral shields.
• XLPE Insulation: Uses cross-linked polyethylene insulation for dimensional stability during termination.
• Metal DB25 Shell: Includes a metal D-sub shell and easy-grip thumb screws.

Design & Installation

The assembly uses Mogami W2932 8-channel multicore cable with a flexible PVC jacket, individually shielded pairs, XLPE insulation, and printed channel identification. The DB25 end uses a rugged metal shell with threaded thumb screws, while the breakout end provides eight 3-pin female XLR connectors. The cable is specified for operation from -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F).

Connect the DB25 plug to a compatible analog DB25 port and secure it with its thumb screws; connect each labeled female XLR to the corresponding male XLR output. Route the fan-out legs so channel labels remain visible and avoid sharply bending or pinching the cable. This cable does not convert digital audio, change connector gender, or add audio channels beyond those supplied by the connected DB25-equipped device.
