JOLGOO jg-20241120008 1/4-Inch TRS to XLR Male Cable, Right-Angle, 6.6 ft

Connect an audio interface, mixer, or keyboard’s balanced 1/4-inch TRS output to an XLR input with the JOLGOO jg-20241120008 cable. Its 90-degree TRS plug can help keep a setup tidy when equipment sits close to a wall or other gear, while the 6.6-foot length gives you room to route the connection between devices.

For a balanced line-level connection, this cable links a compatible 1/4-inch output to an XLR female input on a mixer, PA speaker, or studio monitor. That’s a different job from connecting a microphone with an XLR male output, which needs a cable with an XLR female end.

Who it’s for

This cable suits home audio setups, recording spaces, and live sound rigs that need to connect a balanced 1/4-inch TRS output to XLR equipment. For example, it can connect an audio interface or keyboard output to a mixer or studio monitor with an XLR female input. The right-angle plug is useful when the cable exits close to a back panel or when a straight plug would take up more room.

Choosing the right cable depends on the connection you need: use this one for a compatible balanced TRS output to an XLR input, rather than for a microphone’s XLR output. Both cable ends are male, so the destination needs an XLR female input.

What stands out

The cable uses 20 AWG 6N silver-plated copper conductors and tinned copper braided shielding specified at over 96%. Its balanced connection helps reject hum, while the shielding is designed to reduce interference. These features make it a practical link for routing audio between compatible equipment in a studio, home setup, or live environment.

Gold-plated brass connectors provide the contact points, and zinc alloy connector housings add a durable structure for regular handling. A soft rubber jacket keeps the cable flexible for routing around equipment. Together with the right-angle TRS plug, that construction helps keep connections manageable in tighter setups.

What matters most

Check the signal path at both ends before connecting: the source should provide a balanced 1/4-inch TRS output, and the receiving device should have an XLR female input. Although the 1/4-inch connector is TRS, when connected to an XLR input it carries one balanced channel—not left and right stereo. For a stereo setup, use two cables, one for each side.

This distinction also matters for guitars. A guitar’s 1/4-inch output is unbalanced mono, so this cable will not provide balanced noise rejection in that setup. For connecting balanced outputs between audio gear, however, the TRS-to-XLR configuration is the intended fit.

Questions before you buy

Can I use this cable to connect a microphone? No. The cable has an XLR male end, and a microphone with an XLR male output needs a cable with an XLR female end. This cable also does not power a condenser microphone.

Does the TRS plug carry stereo audio? The plug is TRS, but when used with an XLR input, the cable carries one balanced channel. Use two cables for separate left and right channels.

What equipment can it connect? It can connect a balanced 1/4-inch TRS output on an audio interface, mixer, or keyboard to an XLR female input on a mixer, PA speaker, or studio monitor.

Buying verdict

For connecting balanced 1/4-inch outputs to XLR inputs, this JOLGOO cable combines the needed connector layout with a space-saving right-angle plug, braided shielding, and a flexible jacket. It’s a useful fit for routing a signal between compatible gear in a recording setup, home audio system, or live rig.
