Flat XLR Cables Exist

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.
