Pig Hog PHM50 8mm Microphone Cable — 50ft XLR (Male to Female)

The Pig Hog PHM50 is a 50-foot XLR microphone cable built for working musicians who need reliable, durable performance at a fair price. Featuring an 8mm diameter cable construction — noticeably thicker and more robust than budget microphone cables — the PHM50 is designed to handle the demands of regular gigging, rehearsal and live sound applications without the premium price tag of studio-grade cable. Standard male XLR to female XLR configuration. Also available in 3, 6, 10, 15, 20 and 30 foot lengths.

Angkor Music — Where Pig Hog Sits

Pig Hog cables occupy a genuinely useful position in the cable market — significantly better than no-name or cheap import cables, without the premium price of top-tier studio cable like Mogami. For live sound applications, rehearsal spaces, venue installations and working musicians who go through cables regularly, Pig Hog offers the quality-to-price ratio that makes practical sense. The 8mm construction is meaningfully more durable than thin budget cables and the low-noise performance is appropriate for all standard live and rehearsal applications. If you are outfitting a PA system, a rehearsal room or a working live rig and want quality without paying studio cable prices, Pig Hog is the right choice.

8mm Construction — Built to Last

The 8mm outer diameter of the Pig Hog PHM50 is not marketing — it is the most immediately noticeable difference between Pig Hog and budget microphone cables. Thinner cables — common at the budget end of the market — are lighter and cheaper to produce but flex and break at connection points more quickly under the stress of regular coiling, uncoiling and movement on stage. The thicker 8mm cable provides:

  • Greater durability at connection points — the increased cable diameter distributes stress over a longer length at the XLR connector, reducing the most common failure point of budget cables
  • Better handling characteristics — the cable holds its shape when coiled and does not develop the kinks and memory that thin cables accumulate over time
  • Improved shielding mass — the larger cable diameter accommodates better shielding construction, contributing to the low-noise performance

50 Foot Length — Stage and Live Sound Applications

At 50 feet — approximately 15 metres — the PHM50 is the longest standard length in the Pig Hog microphone cable range and the most useful for stage applications where distance between the performer and the mixing desk, side-of-stage rack or vocal monitor system is significant. Common applications for a 50-foot XLR cable include:

  • Stage microphone to side-of-stage rack or snake box
  • Microphone to front-of-house mixing desk in smaller venues
  • Vocal monitor send cables
  • Live instrument pickup or DI box feeds to mixing desk
  • PA system signal routing in medium-sized venues

If 50 feet is more cable than your application requires, the Pig Hog 8mm microphone cable is available in shorter lengths at Angkor Music — 3, 6, 10, 15, 20 and 30 feet — for applications where a shorter run is more appropriate.

Standard XLR Configuration — Universal Compatibility

The PHM50 uses the standard balanced XLR configuration — male XLR at one end, female XLR at the other — compatible with every standard microphone, DI box, mixing desk, preamp, audio interface and PA system in production. Balanced XLR cables reject common-mode noise — the electrical interference that unbalanced connections pick up from lighting rigs, power cables and other sources of electromagnetic interference that are present in every live sound environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Pig Hog and budget microphone cables?
The most noticeable difference is the 8mm cable diameter — Pig Hog cables are physically thicker and more robust than budget cables, which typically use thinner 6mm or 5mm cable construction. The thicker build provides greater durability at connection points, better handling characteristics and improved shielding. Pig Hog cables are built for working musicians who gig regularly and need cables that last — budget cables are fine for occasional use but tend to fail faster under regular performance conditions.

How does Pig Hog compare to Mogami cables?
Mogami is a top-tier studio cable brand — the choice for professional recording studios and broadcast environments where the absolute minimum noise floor and maximum signal integrity are required at any cost. Pig Hog sits below Mogami in terms of raw signal quality and premium connector specification, but at a significantly lower price point that makes it practical for live sound, rehearsal and general gigging applications where studio-grade specification is not necessary. For most live and rehearsal applications the difference in performance between Pig Hog and Mogami is not audible.

Is 50 feet enough cable for my application?
50 feet is approximately 15 metres — sufficient for most medium to large stage applications, front-of-house runs in smaller venues and venue installations where a single cable run is required. If you need a shorter run, Pig Hog 8mm microphone cables are available at Angkor Music in 3, 6, 10, 15, 20 and 30 foot lengths.

What is a balanced XLR cable and why does it matter?
A balanced cable uses three conductors — positive, negative and ground — allowing the receiving device to reject common-mode noise by comparing the positive and negative signals and cancelling any interference that appears on both. In a live sound environment with lighting rigs, power cables and other sources of electromagnetic interference nearby, balanced XLR connections are significantly quieter than unbalanced connections. All standard microphones use balanced XLR connections for this reason.

Can I use this cable for anything other than microphones?
Yes. Balanced XLR cables carry any balanced audio signal — microphone outputs, DI box outputs, line level signals from keyboards and audio interfaces, and monitor or effects sends from mixing desks. Any application that requires a balanced male-to-female XLR connection can use this cable.
