I am selling this item due to a major system change. It was made by a trusted person, and originally had XLR-XLR connectors, but I modified the male end to TRS (NEUTRIK NP3X) for my use. The female end uses gold-plated Neutrik connectors and Kester 44 Kester (1960s industrial rod). I was using it until recently, so it works without any problems. However, as I am an amateur, I cannot detect subtle differences in sound. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such details.
