I bought this cable to 2 things: connect the Shure SV200 on my mixer Behringer Xenyx X1204 USB or on the mixing console my son Mixtrack Numark Pro 2. The length of 6m allows to step back and spend the microphone to others in the lounge. The quality is sufficient for home studio and welds are performed correctly. The jack has a gland (just like on XLR jacks). What keeps the cable and do not pull the welds. Well done. 100% satisfied.
