What exactly is UGREEN 20711?
It is a passive 3m three-pin XLR male-to-female cable for extending a compatible balanced microphone or line-level connection between professional audio devices.
What connects to each XLR end?
A three-pin XLR cable is electrically straight-through and can carry a balanced signal between compatible XLR equipment. In typical microphone use, connect the female end to the microphone/output device and the male end to a mixer, preamp, interface or powered-speaker input.
Is this an active microphone interface?
There is no DAC, codec, preamp, gain stage or digital conversion. Copper conductors, PE insulation, cotton layer and copper shielding are intended to preserve the connected equipment’s analogue signal; they cannot remove noise created elsewhere.
Can it carry phantom power?
Works with compatible dynamic or condenser microphones and XLR audio equipment. It can carry phantom power only when the connected equipment is properly wired and supplies it; the cable does not generate phantom power.
Will it make an unbalanced setup balanced?
No. Balanced-noise rejection requires compatible balanced wiring and equipment at both ends.
Can it connect directly to USB or a phone?
No. not an XLR-to-USB interface, not a microphone preamp, not an unbalanced guitar cable, not a speaker-power cable and not a guarantee of noise-free audio when equipment grounding or gain staging is faulty.
Which devices are the right match?
Standard three-pin XLR microphones, mixers, preamps, audio interfaces, recorders, powered speakers, PA equipment and other balanced XLR devices. Connector shape alone does not prove signal-level or phantom-power compatibility.
What is the safest first setup?
Turn down monitor level, channel gain and phantom power. Inspect all pins, latch openings and cable jacket for damage. Connect the female XLR end to the microphone or source and the male end to the receiving XLR input.
What should I check if there is no sound or signal?
Confirm connector role and seating, system input/output selection, volume/gain, app permissions and one known-good source/destination before changing multiple variables.

What should this product not be used for?
not an XLR-to-USB interface, not a microphone preamp, not an unbalanced guitar cable, not a speaker-power cable and not a guarantee of noise-free audio when equipment grounding or gain staging is faulty.
