RapcoHorizon NBLC-18MS Neutrik 1/4" TRS Male to XLR Male Balanced Cable (18')

Balanced Cable For Studio And Stage Applications

The RapcoHorizon NBLC-18MS is an 18-foot balanced audio cable built for professionals who need reliable, noise-free performance in recording studios, live sound setups, and broadcast environments. With a 1/4-inch TRS male connector on one end and an XLR male connector on the other, this cable provides a strong, interference-free signal path between audio equipment, ensuring clarity and consistency during every use.

Neutrik Connectors Provide Professional Reliability

Equipped with hand soldered Neutrik connectors, the NBLC-18MS delivers secure, long-lasting connections. Known worldwide for their durability and precision, Neutrik connectors resist wear from constant use while maintaining a solid fit. These connectors give musicians, engineers, and technicians the confidence that their gear will perform without interruptions.

Balanced Design Minimizes Noise And Interference

Built with a balanced configuration, this cable effectively rejects electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. That makes it an excellent choice for environments where multiple electronic devices can cause unwanted noise. The balanced design allows for clean, transparent sound transfer, even when used in complex setups with multiple cables and equipment.

Durable Jacket Ensures Longevity With Flexibility

The cable is protected by a matte PVC jacket that combines ruggedness with flexibility. With an outer diameter of 0.23 inches, it is strong enough to withstand frequent use while remaining easy to coil, route, and transport. Whether used in the studio, on stage, or during touring, the NBLC-18MS is designed to hold up under repeated handling.

High Quality Conductor And Shielding Deliver Clarity

Inside the cable, a 24 AWG conductor is paired with a bare annealed copper serve shield that covers 95 percent of the surface area. This combination maximizes conductivity and interference rejection, resulting in consistent signal integrity. Low capacitance and optimized impedance improve frequency response, ensuring accurate sound reproduction across the full spectrum.

Practical Length For Versatile Setups

At 18 feet, this cable provides the flexibility needed for studio connections, stage setups, or mobile rigs without creating unnecessary clutter. It is long enough to give users placement options while remaining manageable for transport and quick setup. Its medium length makes it a versatile option for both small and mid-sized audio applications.
