Topic: Custom XLR cables

[pata63]

I'm in search of a pair of custom chopped straight XLR cables.
Approx. length 100-120cm.
Could anyone point me in the direction of someone making these. Either in Europe or someone willing to send to Europe (Sweden).

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply. I've already contacted him but got a short reply that he doesn't ship international.

• "Kortwich Filmtontechnik" in Berlin/Germany: https://www.shop-ftt.de/de/kortwich-produkte/kortwich-winkel (not cheap but they will build custom cables)
• "Design a Cable" in the UK: https://www.designacable.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=low+profile+xlr (I had custom built multicore cables manufactured by them)
• Ali-Express: Search for "Cyclone XLR 3-Pin Male To Low-Key XLR 3-Pin Female Audio Cable Sound Device" or equivalent low profile cables from SZJELEN. Sometimes they have "Welcome deals" where the first one or two items are marked down in price. (So cheap that you couldn't build them by yourself.) Double-check they actually use chopped Neutrik connectors. (Mine were Neutrik and well made.)
• Possibly some other companies like Canford or Pinknoise in the UK

I have had excellent luck with Performance Audio. No affiliation, but they have done excellent custom work for me (and I am fussy). They ship internationally.

That said, I am surprised you can't find someone closer to make them over there.

Or just learn to make your own. Someone here told me to years ago and said really anyone could do it. I gave it a try and now I agree. I now make lots of custom cables with custom chops, etc. It's not difficult and you can buy all the tools and materials you need to make lots for the cost of your first "made by others" cable order.

Performance Audio in Salt Lake City?

Try https://www.vikingcable.nl in The Netherlands. I always buy stuff there. Custom is no problem.

Yes -- they are excellent. I buy a lot of parts from them to make my own cables, and their prices are the best I have found on stuff like thin Mogami wires we like for stealth. They also have made me some beautifully made customs. Better quality work by a good margin than other custom places I have used (haven't tried the people recommended above though).

No affiliation, just happy customer.

How about making them yourself?  Cable Techniques makes the below connectors.  I've made a bunch of cables using these connectors and have been very satisfied with the results.  My 2 cents.
