Select a professional audio cable by its two equipment connections, required wiring and finished length—not by connector appearance alone. For distributor and OEM sourcing, separate the electrical application from the physical assembly, then approve a sample and a clearly defined packing configuration.
Write an end-to-end connection brief.
Identify the source equipment and destination equipment, not just “XLR cable.” Record the port on each device, connector type and gender at each end, intended signal path, required finished length and routing. Add the device documentation or required pin assignment where available. A connector family does not by itself define every contact’s function or establish that two assemblies are substitutes.
The existing Audio Cables guide and model comparison is the starting point for browsing finished leads. Use Audio Accessories for loose connectors, panel sockets and adapters. Buying a panel socket is not the same as specifying a finished cable assembly.
Three published LESOUND cables serve different briefs.
| Model | Verified assembly | Unresolved procurement detail |
|---|---|---|
| MC055 | Microphone cable with XLR female and XLR male connectors; black connector housings. | Finished length, conductor/shield construction and wiring are not established in the current published specification. Request them for the intended microphone and equipment. |
| AC081P | XLR male to 6.35 mm TS; listed lengths 1, 2, 3 and 5 m; wire reference 2 × 22 AWG + 96 × 0.10 + Ø6.0. | Confirm the pin assignment and equipment application. The XLR end does not make the complete assembly a guaranteed balanced connection or an active converter. |
| YC015 | XLR male to 2 × 6.35 mm mono; 18 cm catalog length; wire reference AC2B4H. | Confirm the split routing and length-measurement convention. The Y shape does not establish stereo breakout, summing or an isolated split. |

Choose by application, not by a familiar plug.
For a microphone connection, start with the microphone and receiving equipment requirements. MC055 provides the published XLR female-to-male format, but the required length and wiring still belong in the order brief. Do not interpret a photograph of cable arranged in a coil as a specification for a retractile lead.
For AC081P, check that the intended devices call for the stated XLR-male and TS ends. A TS plug is not a universal substitute for TRS, and a passive assembly must not be promised to convert every signal or solve every connection problem. Ask for a wiring confirmation specific to the devices.
For YC015, explain what each branch is intended to connect. Two mono ends are a physical description, not a verified channel assignment. The listed 18 cm is also not a long stage run. If the application calls for a different configuration, treat that as a new feasibility question rather than silently renaming this model.
Approve the wiring, measurement and finished assembly.
Before a sample is ordered, agree the pin-to-pin schedule, connector orientation and how finished length is measured. For a Y cable, ask whether the requested measurement refers to an overall assembly or a defined branch. Keep the agreed drawing with the sample record so a reorder can reference the same configuration.
List the acceptance checks the application actually needs. These may include continuity and intended contact routing, visual connector identification and the agreed finished length. If resistance, shielding, flexing, strain relief, environmental limits or other performance requirements matter, request the relevant model-specific data and an agreed test method. No numerical performance threshold or certification is established by this guide.
Separate “listed,” “requested” and “approved” in the purchasing record. For AC081P, the four lengths above are listed options. For MC055, a chosen finished length is a request until confirmed. For YC015, a different wiring layout must not be treated as approved merely because the connector shapes match.
Turn an OEM request into a controlled configuration.
Specify quantity by model and length, destination market, connector configuration, application and sample acceptance requirements. Add requested branding, jacket marking, labels, retail packaging or carton information as separate items for review. LESOUND offers OEM/ODM support; the availability of a particular connector, marking, jacket, wiring or packing change requires model-specific confirmation.
Request a quotation that distinguishes the standard model from proposed changes. Confirm MOQ, samples, any tooling, delivery timing, packing quantities and commercial terms directly. Do not assume a cable catalog image establishes a connector supplier, certified electrical rating, conductor metallurgy or country-specific compliance.
Use manufacturing evidence without overstating it.
The LESOUND Factory page provides real manufacturing photographs, including cable-related equipment. Use that context together with the exact product record and an approved sample. A factory photograph is not a wiring drawing, a laboratory result or proof that a particular process or certification applies to every cable.
For the formal workflow, see LESOUND OEM/ODM inquiries. Open a specific model and use Request a Quote to keep its context in the existing form. For a mixed assortment, list each model, quantity and required length in Project Requirements.
