If you're going to use a microphone with JamKazam and an audio interface, then you'll need an XLR cable to connect your microphone to the audio interface. An XLR cable looks like the image below.
Aside from quality, the only thing to really consider with an XLR cable is the length of the cable you'll need. This will depend on your particular setup, in terms of where your microphone will be placed, and where your audio interface will be placed, and how much cable length is needed between those two points.
Following are JamKazam's gear recommendations for XLR cables. To be clear:
- JamKazam isn't selling these cables to you, and we don't have an interest in which stand you buy, so we don't have any conflict of interest or ulterior motive to push you in a particular direction.

Our hope is that we can help you spend less time conducting product research, save money on your purchases by getting a product with great performance combined with a lower price, and also get a good quality product that will last.
