This is an original cable from the Sidera Mastering brand. It is believed to be discontinued and is a hard-to-find item. It is a 3m XLR connector (male/female) pair. I purchased it at the time for my monitor speakers, and while I liked the sound quality, it was too long, so I repurchased a shorter one. Therefore, this item is almost unused. I tested the sound for this listing, and there were no problems. It will be shipped from Tokyo via Yamato Transport's Takkyubin Compact service.
