Built Tough for the Stage—Pig Hog 8mm 25ft Mic Cable
The Pig Hog 8mm 25ft XLR to XLR Microphone Cable is engineered to handle the rigors of touring, live sound, and studio work with unmatched durability and clarity.
This rugged mic cable features an extra-thick 8mm outer jacket that protects against abrasion, tangling, and road wear.

Accessory Spotlight
Control Modes of the Pig Hog 8mm 25ft XLR Cable
While passive by nature, this XLR cable supports full analog signal flow and integrates seamlessly with balanced audio equipment such as microphones, mixers, powered speakers, and stage boxes. Its low-noise construction and heavy shielding ensure optimal performance in both live and studio environments.
How to Deploy the Pig Hog 8mm 25ft Mic Cable in the Field
Uncoil and route the cable from mic to mixer or mixer to powered speaker, avoiding high-power lines or foot traffic when possible. Use gaffer tape to secure the cable along stage edges or floor seams, and coil it properly after each event to preserve jacket integrity and connector alignment.
