The Mogami PLATINUM STUDIO 25 is a 25-foot balanced XLR cable for connecting microphones, line-level equipment, powered speakers, and AES3 digital audio gear. It provides a ready-made XLR male-to-XLR female connection for studio signal paths that need a longer cable run. The cable is intended for fixed or carefully handled professional studio environments rather than demanding live-stage use.
This cable is well suited to recording, mixing, mastering, broadcast, and home AV installations using standard 3-pin XLR connections. Its balanced construction supports microphone and line signals while also meeting AES3 digital-audio requirements. The 25-foot length can help bridge the distance between a mic position, audio interface, preamp, mixer, monitor, or converter.
Mogami builds the Platinum Studio series around two large-gauge, high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors. The 18 AWG conductors and low 50 pF/m capacitance specification are designed for extended high-frequency transmission in analog applications. Its 110-ohm characteristic impedance also supports AES3 digital signal use.
A served shield surrounds the internal conductors to help maintain a protected balanced connection in studio equipment chains. The cable uses red and white conductor insulation, a clear LDPE filler, and a black PVC outer jacket. Custom XLR connectors use silver pins for low contact resistance, with polished black-chrome connector housings.
The PLATINUM STUDIO 25 is a practical choice when upgrading a critical XLR run without changing microphones, monitors, interfaces, or other equipment. It connects directly between devices equipped with standard 3-pin XLR male and female ports. For portable and frequently moved systems, use care: this series is specified for studio use and is not intended for repeated rough handling on a live stage.
Key Features
- 25-Foot XLR Run: Connects XLR-equipped equipment across a longer studio distance.
- Balanced XLR Construction: Supports balanced microphone and line-level signal connections.
- 18 AWG OFC Conductors: Uses large-gauge, high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors.
- AES3 Compatibility: Meets AES3 requirements for compatible digital audio connections.
- Low Capacitance: 50 pF/m capacitance supports extended analog high-frequency transmission.
- Silver-Pin XLR Connectors: Provides low-resistance contacts at each cable end.
Design & Installation
The cable uses two 19/0.25A OFC conductors with CPP insulation, a clear LDPE monofilament filler, an approximately 100/0.18A served shield, and a black PVC jacket. Its nominal outer diameter is 7.8 mm, with a tolerance of ±0.5 mm. Polished black-chrome XLR connector housings and silver pins complete the terminated assembly.
Connect the XLR male end to an XLR female output and the XLR female end to an XLR male output, such as a microphone, mic preamp, mixer, converter, powered monitor, or AES3 device. Verify that both devices use standard 3-pin XLR connections before purchasing. Route the cable where it will not be repeatedly stepped on, pulled, or subjected to live-stage handling.

Will this work with a standard microphone?
Yes. It has a standard 3-pin XLR female connector for the microphone end and a 3-pin XLR male connector for the receiving equipment. Both connected devices must use compatible XLR connections.
Can I use it for AES3 or AES/EBU digital audio?
Yes. The Platinum Studio cable is specified as AES3 compliant and has a 110-ohm characteristic impedance. Use it with equipment that provides compatible 3-pin XLR AES3/AES-EBU connections.
Is this cable suitable for powered speakers?
Yes. Mogami identifies the Platinum Studio series as suitable for powered speakers and subwoofers. It is intended for signal-level XLR connections, not passive-speaker power connections.
Is this a good choice for live performances?
It is designed for studio use and is not intended for live-stage use or frequent rough handling. Consider a cable specifically designed for touring or stage durability if it will be moved and coiled often.
What is included with the cable?
The package includes one 25-foot Mogami Platinum Studio XLR cable with a 3-pin XLR male connector on one end and a 3-pin XLR female connector on the other. No adapters or additional accessories are listed.
Does the cable have warranty coverage?
Mogami states that its Platinum series cables are covered by a lifetime warranty. Warranty service is subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms.
