Mogami GOLD-DB25-XLRM-10 8-Channel DB25 to XLRM Snake

The Mogami GOLD-DB25-XLRM-10 is a 10-foot, eight-channel analog breakout snake designed to connect a DB25-equipped audio interface, console, converter, or patchbay to eight XLR male connections. It consolidates multiple balanced analog audio paths into one organized cable run. This makes it useful where rack equipment and studio wiring need a clean, serviceable connection method.

Built around Mogami 2932 Neglex multicore cable, this assembly uses individually twisted and shielded channel pairs. The construction is intended to help minimize interference between channels and reduce exposure to electromagnetic and radio-frequency noise. It is suited to line-level analog routing in recording, broadcast, and production environments.

The cable uses an industry-standard analog DB25 pinout and provides eight XLR 3-pin male connectors at the fanout end. It is appropriate for equipment that uses compatible analog DB25 I/O wiring. Confirm the pinout requirement of connected equipment before purchase, particularly when working with digital or non-standard DB25 interfaces.

Each channel is individually jacketed and marked with printed, underlined numbering to make identification easier during installation and troubleshooting. The 10-foot length provides useful reach for routing between a rack, console, patchbay, or outboard equipment. Its flexible PVC jacket and compact multicore format help reduce cable clutter compared with eight separate XLR cables.

A rugged all-metal D-sub shell, gold-contact terminations, and metal thumb screws support repeated connection and removal in studio systems. The underlying Mogami 2932 cable is specified for operation from -20°C to 70°C. This cable is a practical system-building component for balanced analog signal paths where a DB25 fanout to XLR male connectors is required.

Key Features

• Eight Analog Channels: Breaks out one DB25 connection to eight XLR male connections.
• Industry-Standard Pinout: Designed for compatible analog DB25-equipped audio hardware.
• Individually Shielded Pairs: Helps limit noise pickup and channel-to-channel interference.
• Mogami 2932 Construction: Uses 8-channel Neglex multicore studio snake cable.
• Numbered Channel Identification: Printed, underlined markings simplify routing and maintenance.
• Metal D-Sub Hardware: All-metal shell and thumb screws support secure attachment.

Design & Installation

The GOLD-DB25-XLRM-10 combines a flexible 8-channel Mogami 2932 cable with individually shielded twisted pairs, flexible PVC jacketing, and a rugged metal D-sub shell. Its XLR fanout uses gold-contact connectors, while the DB25 connector is secured with easy-grab metal thumb screws. The cable's overall bulk-cable diameter is approximately 11.5 mm, helping it remain manageable for multi-channel routing.

Connect the DB25 end only to equipment using the compatible industry-standard analog DB25 pinout, then route the eight numbered XLR male ends to corresponding XLR female inputs. Use the channel numbers to maintain consistent signal assignments between the source and destination. This assembly is intended for balanced analog audio connections; it is not an AES/EBU digital DB25 breakout cable.
