Xilaghy XI013 4-Pin XLR Extension Cable, 0.5 m Male-to-Female

A 4-pin male-to-female XLR connection gives you a straightforward way to extend a compatible audio or lighting setup. The Xilaghy XI013 links equipment without changing the connector format of your existing 4-pin XLR connection.

Its 0.5 m length is useful when nearby equipment needs a little extra reach, such as a microphone connection in a studio or a link to stage lighting. The round black cable has a flexible PVC jacket for practical routing between devices.

Need an extension that matches a less common 4-pin connection? This cable is specifically configured for 4-pin XLR, with metal connectors and shielded copper wiring for audio transmission.

Highlights

The male-to-female connector arrangement makes the cable an extension patch lead: connect the male end to a compatible 4-pin XLR output, then attach the female end to the corresponding 4-pin XLR cable or input. Keeping the existing cable run and adding a short extension can be a practical alternative to replacing it with one longer lead.

The four-pin configuration is the key detail when choosing this cable. It is intended for equipment with 4-pin XLR connectors, including compatible microphones, mixers and stage lights. Its connectors have gold-plated copper contacts, and the cable uses double shielding to help guard the signal against electromagnetic interference and noise. For a compact audio link or lighting-control connection, that combination keeps the setup focused on a matching connector and a short, manageable cable run.

The metal connector housings use a die-cast alloy construction with a black finish. A flexible PVC outer jacket protects the cable while allowing it to route between nearby pieces of equipment. The tangle-free feature also supports easier handling when the cable is packed or moved between indoor setups.

Fit and sizing

At 0.5 m (1.6 feet), the XI013 is suited to short connections where equipment is positioned close together. It can add reach between a microphone and audio equipment, or between compatible stage-lighting connections, without introducing a long cable run. Its male-to-female layout also makes the intended extension direction clear when planning where each end will connect.

Before connecting, match both devices and the cable to 4-pin XLR. Pin count matters: this is not a 3-pin XLR cable. If your setup uses the four-pin format, the connector arrangement and compact length make it a useful choice for a nearby link in a studio, stage or other indoor audio setup.

How to use it

Connect the male 4-pin XLR end to the compatible equipment, then connect the female end to the matching 4-pin XLR connection on the other part of your setup. The cable is designed for plug-and-play audio transmission and can also be used with compatible stage lighting. Route it between the devices, then arrange the connected equipment as needed for your setup.

For example, in a studio with a microphone and nearby audio equipment, use the short lead to bridge the space between matching 4-pin XLR connections. The same approach applies to compatible lighting equipment where a short extension helps position the connection. Its round form and flexible jacket make it practical to route along a compact indoor setup.

Practical questions

Will it connect to a 3-pin XLR device? No. The connectors are 4-pin XLR, so both sides of the connection need compatible 4-pin XLR sockets or plugs.

Can I use it with stage lighting? Yes, it can be used for stage-lighting connections when the equipment uses compatible 4-pin XLR connectors. It is also intended for audio transmission with compatible equipment.

How long is the cable? The cable is 0.5 m (1.6 feet) long, making it suitable for a short extension between nearby devices.

Buying verdict

Choose the Xilaghy XI013 when your setup calls for a short 4-pin XLR male-to-female extension. Its compact 0.5 m length, shielded copper wiring and flexible jacket make it a practical fit for nearby microphone, audio-equipment and stage-lighting connections that use the same four-pin format.
