Whirlwind MK401 1' MK4 Series XLRM-XLRF Microphone Cable

Short XLR Cable for Tight Audio Setups
The Whirlwind MK401 is a 1-foot XLR cable designed for professional microphone and audio routing applications where space is limited. Built with the same rugged construction and signal integrity as longer cables in the MK4 series, this compact length is ideal for patching, stageboxes, or rack-mounted audio gear. It delivers clean signal transmission while minimizing excess cable slack.

Ideal for Patch Panels and Close-Range Connections
When you're working in tight spaces like studio racks, pedalboards, or mixer outputs, a short XLR cable helps keep your setup clean and organized. The MK401’s 1-foot length reduces clutter and eliminates the coil mess common with longer cables in confined setups. It's a practical choice for linking gear positioned side by side or within a few inches of each other.

Built with Accusonic+2 Cable for Signal Reliability
At its core, the MK401 uses Whirlwind’s Accusonic+2 cable, known for its high strand count and professional-grade performance. The dual conductor design and tight braided copper shielding ensure excellent noise rejection and full-range signal clarity. This makes it suitable for use with microphones, DI boxes, or balanced line-level gear in demanding environments.

Durable XLR Connectors for Secure Connectivity
The MK401 features Whirlwind XLR female to male connectors with rugged, road-tested reliability. These connectors lock firmly in place to prevent accidental disconnection and are designed to handle repeated plugging and unplugging without wearing down. Whether on stage or in a studio rack, these ends provide a reliable signal path every time.

Flexible Construction for Easy Handling
Despite its short length, the MK401 remains flexible and easy to route through tight spots without stiff resistance. The cable jacket resists abrasion and tangling, and its slim profile fits into setups where space is at a premium. This flexibility adds convenience and longevity, especially in fast-paced environments where gear is constantly being reconfigured.

Perfect for Studio, Stage, and System Integrations
From live sound engineers to broadcast techs and studio installers, professionals who need high-performance, short-length mic cables will find the MK401 an essential tool. It’s the right solution for reducing signal chain slack without compromising build quality or sonic integrity.
