I can't find the Emotiva XLR cables on the new website so I am assuming they are discontinued.
I need XLR cables for my preamp to my XPA-3.
I also have an Emotiva 5 channel amp running my 4 surrounds (2 rear and 2 side) and am interested in a XLR on one end RCA on the other end for this if you think that's better than RCA. I have the UPA-500 which does not have balanced inputs.
What do you recommend? Thanks.

No noise or hum....dead quiet 🤫 just entertainment! Those RCA’s are an old set of Monsters I picked up 17 years ago. Nicely made an not crazy expensive (as you say). |

I use Blue Jeans Cable XLR’s on an XPR-5 and they have been great. Made with Belden 1800f cable.

ProAudioLA can custom make exactly what you need at excellent prices. I recommend Mogami wire and Neutrik XLR connectors you won't find better. For multichannel snake cables linkAnd for single cables link |

I had opened my before and I assure you they don't like that. I am not sure if that's a bad cable he has there or it was intentional. It has almost five stars for a reason. |

I ended up buying a 3 cable snake from ProAudioLA for my XPA-3 powering my left, center, and right channels. This will connect the XMC-1 to the XPA-3 Gen 3.
Because I like the look of the XLR I also bought XLR/RCA cables from Monoprice for the 4 rear surrounds which will go between my XMC-1 and my UPA-500. Yes, I know that there is little to be gained with this route but I will like the look of the XLR from the XMC-1 (Maybe one day I will upgrade the UPA-500 although for just the surround channels I doubt it!)

Anyone know how long the Emotiva XLR Snakes are? I can't find the length in the description.

I like Monoprice so I was a little shocked when I read that review. I can vouch for Monoprice XLRs as well. I have used them extensively and compared them to other cables. They are mainly used in pro gear setups and run reliably with no noise floor to speak of. Give them a try along with another brand and see for yourself. Also look at Blue Jeans Cable or the one in LA for a custom cable. These two suppliers (Monoprice and Blue Jeans) are the ones we routinely use in our installs. |
