The Sound of Excellence

The Headgear Audio 3-Pin XLR Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Balanced Short Interconnect is a purpose-built stacking cable for balanced audio gear. Handcrafted in Mumbai, it runs about 25cm (10 inches) excluding connectors — short enough to route cleanly between a DAC and amplifier sitting directly on top of each other, without the excess slack a standard-length interconnect would leave behind.

Both XLR connectors are gold-plated for a stable, corrosion-resistant balanced connection, and the cable is shielded to keep noise out of a short, tightly-routed run. It's a fully passive, standard balanced interconnect — wired pin-for-pin to the AES/EBU balanced standard — so it drops straight into any XLR-to-XLR balanced signal chain.

Every unit is backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects.
