Cordial CFM 1,5 FV

I have a box full of cables and 9 out of 10 are Cordial. I use this cable to connect a pair of JBL monitors to a Xone 22 mixer and it does the job perfectly. There is no hiss, static or other interferences. I haven't tested this with EM sources close by, but so far it doesn't pick up any. But I guess it shouldn't, being balanced and shielded.

What's even better is that the connectors are Neutrik which are some of the best on the market and used extensively in audio and video production and broadcast environment. The cable is a soft rubber coating and it's very flexible which I love. I hate rigid cables that are a pain to wrap and coil. Oh, and the gold plated connectors give you a nice feeling of money well spent :)

All in all, I am happy with the purchase and can definitely recommend anyone to have a pair of these just in case the need arises. I think that 1.5 meters are more than enough for any small rooms or booth setup. I would love to see a 90-degree angle connector version for the jack, it would make cable management a whole lot easier, especially for speaker setups.

I got this cable for connecting my preamp in my rack unit to my TRS patch bay.

Obviously, it's good practice to use the shortest cables you can get away with when connecting equipment, and in this case I needed the cable to be able to span the entire length of the rack which 1.5 metres is perfect for.

The cable and the connectors are of a good quality and they mate with the equipment well. These aren't the kind of cables that I disconnect and re-connect very often, so I'm unable to say how well they will last, but I don't think I'll have any problems with them as they seem well made.

I would definitely buy these again, and in fact will be buying some more of these soon as the only spaces left in my 12U rack are far away from the patch bay making these longer leads a necessity.

Having purchased a Zaor Miza 88 XL oak/grey workstation, I found my existing leads were too short. The Cordial CFM 1,5 balanced XLR to 1/4" appeared to be competitively priced and the exact length I needed.

The cable itself features gold 1/4" stereo jack connectors, the cable isn't brittle, it's quite flexible and is unobtrusive. The XLR connectors are quite compact, I bought two of these leads for left and right from the Avid Eleven Rack to a future Focusrite Octopre MkII purchase as I desired to record two Eleven Racks at once into Logic Pro X.

The overall quality of the lead is excellent for the price and the sound quality hasn't degraded since I switched from shorter cables by another brand. These cables are perfect for routing into a studio rack, compact and they are an elegant solution to your studio needs.
