Let's get started by taking a close look at the GLS Audio 25ft Patch Cords XLR Microphone Cables.
This GLS Audio XLR cable is on the high-end of the spectrum. That is, it comes with the highest quality components, all the latest technological advancements, and with this, a high-end sticker price. If you are willing to pay up to get the highest end cable, this is the one to go for. The rubber jacket is heavy duty, the conductors are high-grade copper, it comes with GLS’s Lo-Z shield and Tri-Grip – all of this ensures the highest quality sound and the lowest amount of interference.

In general, the Your Cable Store cables seem to offer the best price to quality ratio. That is, they somehow manage to pull off a sticker price lower than you would expect for their good quality products.
