Low Profile Angled Female XLR to Straight Male XLR Cable – Mogami 2549 & SquarePlug

Where a straight XLR connector leaves the cable projecting into an awkward space, an angled connection can make routing easier. We assemble this cable in the UK with a SquarePlug SPXA-FBK angled female XLR, an SPX-MBK straight male XLR and black Mogami 2549 cable, using standard pin-to-pin wiring.

Why these components?

SquarePlug’s low profile design reduces the space taken up by the connectors. Their serviceable metal bodies and cable clamps provide mechanical protection and strain relief, helping keep pulling forces away from the soldered connections.

Mogami 2549 combines a twisted pair of oxygen-free copper conductors with copper spiral screening to help limit unwanted interference. Its flexible PVC jacket makes it practical to route between equipment, from short patch connections to longer microphone runs.

Choose the direction to suit your connection

The angled female connector offers eight cable-exit directions, spaced at 45° intervals. This helps you route the cable around nearby sockets, equipment panels or microphone hardware. The male connector has a straight cable exit.

Check your equipment socket’s pin alignment against our angled XLR direction guide before selecting Female XLR Direction. Socket orientation varies, so the same selection can route the cable differently on different equipment.

Applications and fit

Use this cable for balanced connections between microphones and preamps, studio equipment, or compatible HiFi components such as a preamp and power amplifier. Equipment with proprietary XLR wiring requires a cable made for that specific connection.

Allow space for the cable to bend beyond the connector. The connectors are low profile, but the cable itself is still 6 mm in diameter. Choose your required length from 25 cm to 50 m; all lengths are measured boot to boot.
