Flat XLR Cables Exist

Flat instrument cables and low-profile plugs have been a thing for years. But for some reason, XLR cables never got the same treatment.

These Flat XLR Cables with Compact Connectors bring that space-saving mindset to your mic lines, IEM systems, pedalboard routing, or stage patching.

Instead of chunky connectors and stiff round jackets, you get slim, compact XLR plugs with a flat, flexible cable that’s easier to route around tight corners or behind gear. They’re ideal for modern setups where space actually matters.

Why it’s a Cool Find:

• Low-profile XLR connectors fit into tight spaces
• Flat, flexible cable tucks neatly under or around gear
• Perfect for pedalboards, stage racks, and compact IEM mixers
• Clean, modern look that doesn’t add bulk

Use it for:

• Patching a compact stage mixer or personal monitor rig
• Running tidy XLR lines under a pedalboard
• Cleaning up cable runs behind rack gear or in tight studio setups
• Any place a normal XLR cable just takes up too much space

You probably didn’t think you needed better XLR cables. But if your setup is cramped, these make a big difference.
