Custom Cables Tube Microphone Cable Made from Mogami W3172 & Neutrik Connectors

Custom Mogami W3172 Tube Microphone Cable

Build your tube microphone setup around a cable made for its specific connection requirements. Performance Audio custom builds this assembly using Mogami W3172 tube microphone cable and genuine Neutrik connectors, with custom labeling and finishing options to help keep your microphone and power-supply connections organized.

Match the Microphone and Power Supply Before Ordering

Tube microphone connections are system-specific. Provide the exact microphone and power-supply models, required connector types and genders at both ends, pin count, and manufacturer-approved wiring information before ordering. A matching connector shape or pin count alone does not establish compatibility, and different systems can use different pin assignments.

This is not a universal replacement cable or a standard 3-pin XLR microphone lead. Depending on the system, the microphone-to-power-supply cable may carry both audio and operating voltages. Incorrect wiring or an incompatible assembly can damage equipment and create an electrical hazard. Do not assume straight-through wiring is correct or substitute this cable solely because the connectors fit.

• Custom labeling and finishing options: identify the intended microphone system and cable ends.
• Custom made to order with a lifetime warranty: a Performance Audio assembly built for your specified requirements.

Plan the Length and Cable Route

Measure the actual route between the microphone and its matching power supply, allowing slack for stand positioning, strain relief, and equipment access. Confirm the proposed length against the microphone manufacturer's recommendations rather than assuming any length is suitable. Leave clearance for connector bodies and support the cable so its weight does not pull on the microphone or power-supply sockets.

Keep the cable clear of sharp bends, pinch points, and foot traffic. Where practical, route it away from AC power cables and power transformers. Labels can help keep a system-specific cable from being accidentally used with another microphone or power supply.

Connect and Test According to Your Microphone's Instructions

Follow the microphone manufacturer's connection, startup, shutdown, and discharge procedures. Switch off and disconnect power as directed before connecting or removing the cable, and observe any required waiting period. Do not hot-plug the microphone-to-power-supply connection. Have the finished assembly's wiring verified against the approved pinout before applying power, then check operation with monitoring levels turned down.

Need Help Specifying Your Build?

Contact Performance Audio's custom cable specialists with your microphone and power-supply models, connector details, approved pinout, and required length. We can help determine the appropriate build or discuss a configuration you cannot specify online. This cable does not replace the microphone's required power supply or convert between incompatible microphone systems.
