Dumb mic cable questions.

[VomitHatSteve]

I'm not "up" on all the "hip" jargon, so here's some newbie questions:

Microphone cables are XLR cables, right? I'm not always sure which abbreviations apply to what.

Which end of a mic cable is male, and which end is female?

Yup, mic=XLR

Male is the one with the pins, female is the one with the holes.

Alright. Thank you very much.

I'll admit I was uncertain which was M and which was F until recently with XLR cables too. In a way, the female "housing" fits inside the male. But then the pins of the male go inside the female. It's not a clear as with other M/F parts.
