"Not The First Time I've Purchased These"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Every time our church needs new cables, I buy these. Years ago, we used to buy the bargain "3 pack" of another brand for $15. They don't last. Spend a few extra dollars on these, and you wont be sorry. I'm not sure why, but about 3 years ago (and earlier) these cables came with a "Lifetime Warranty", but on our most recent purchase, it says that they come with a "10 Year Warranty". Regardless, we have never (as of yet) had to have one of these cables replaced. If we get 10 years of use out of these cables, I probably wouldn't even bother with making a warranty claim. Now, they don't get used, or get abused, like a working band would use them, but for our purposes, they work great.

I am very happy with this cable. It performs very well, and appears to by quite rugged. I use the cable between my mixer board and a powered speaker. ZZounds was good to deal with and delivery was prompt.

This is great. The Neutrik Connectors snap right in and made of metal. I'm confident they will last a lifetime.

"Solid cables"
Verified Customer

I recently switched over from passive to active speaker set up for our band's PA. Had to change out all the Neutrik cables for XLR. Running EV ZXa1 subs with JBL EON 610 mains, and bought these cables to connect to the mixing board. So far so good. Can't comment on durability since I've only used them twice, but they seem like good cables.

"Decent cables for the price"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I usually just use Live Wire or Monster because of the lifetime warranty. We gig full time in a cover band and play the usual bar and grill, island resort, and occasional casino gig, so the CBI's do plenty enough of a good job for me. However, on the fly, I prefer to buy Live Wire because you only have to buy it once replace it for free if it goes bad. And the clips on the Neutrik female ends of my CBI cable keep getting stuck and I have to pry them out with my fingernails. Other than that, I'm happy. You can't beat getting two 30' mic cords for $45!

CBI MLN LowZ Mic Cable Customer Review
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I would think it's a solid purchase for anyone looking for, well, a cable. Take a step up and have some made if these don't cut it for you.
Sound
This is a pretty decent sounding cable. I don't know if it compares to handmade, or Mogami studio cables, but nice nonetheless.
Features
It has everything a cable should.
Ease of Use
It works like a cable.
Quality
Well, the Belden cable and Neutrik connectors should speak for themselves. Time will tell.
Value
Eh, a dollar a foot for a good quality cable doesn't seem outlandish to me.
Manufacturer Support
Didn't talk to anyone.
The Wow Factor
The Neutrik connectors look nicer than cheap ones...

"Good cable for the money"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I purchased these cables for use in our church. They get a lot of use because they are connected and disconnected at least twice a week, for band practice and Sunday service, plus whatever other programs that go on during the week. You pretty much get what you pay for when it comes to cables, and so far, even though these are not high end cables, seem well worth the price paid. I would suggest that whatever cable you get, make sure it has the Neutrik connectors. You won't be sorry.

"Good cable, lousy connector."
Verified Customer

Sound
I bought several of these cables with the highly touted Neutrick connectors. After only a few months several of these connectors screw on back covers split for no apparent reason. Some were in fixed rack equipment with no movement or any other physical abuse. Although the wire quality and assembly seems good I won't be buying any more. Other brands of similiar age have shown no problems.
Manufacturer Support
I tried to find the back covers to replace the split ones and no luck. I finally replaced the connectors with some quality shell and insert types.

"Go with another brand!"
Absolute junk!
Sound
The 2 out of 8 that I ordered that work sound good. 2 DOA 4 failed within a few months while 30 other brand cables that I use work fine under under same non-abusive use.
Features
It's a cable.
Quality
Easy to troubleshoot when no signal.
Value
New cables DOA or going bad in a short period of time by no fault of the consumer have a negative value. I would have paid for the knowledge not to buy CBI.
