Also, AmazonBasics is exactly as the name implies. If you buy an AmazonBasics XLR cable, you know it’s going to have two conductors not four and you know it’s not going to be super well shielded if at all.

And for anything that’s not semi-standardized or a long-existing design, it’s definitely a ripoff of a real item being sold there. Is that actually a thing with XLR or are you exaggerating? Not too familiar with XLR. I would guess you could skip the cold audio and get down to just hot and ground, but what’s the correct 4th conductor?

  I’m not exaggerating. If you buy a Mogami XLR cable you know it’s going to have 4 conductors and it’s going to be shielded. I cut open my AmazonBasics 50 ft XLR cable after it had failed (it started introducing a buzzing noise) and I saw it only had two conductors in it.
