Best Audio Cables for YouTubers & Creators in India
Starting a YouTube channel, podcast, or recording content at home? You’ve probably already invested in a good mic, camera, and lighting — but what about the cables connecting everything? Most Indian creators overlook this part, and that’s exactly where the problems begin: noisy audio, unstable connection, sound dropouts, or poor compatibility.
If you want crisp, clean, professional-sounding videos, choosing the right audio cable is non-negotiable. In this guide, we’ll break down the most important types of audio cables that Indian creators should use — whether you're a beginner setting up your home studio, or a pro managing a multi-camera podcast. And yes, we’ll tell you exactly what cables to buy, why, and where to get them.
Let’s make your setup studio-worthy — without spending like a studio.
Why Cables Matter More Than You Think?
Many creators in India use high-end microphones but still end up with amazing sounds, low volume, or echo. Why? Because they connect their gear with cheap, mismatched, or incorrect cables.
Even if you have a Rode mic or an audio port, using the wrong AUX cable or a bad XLR wire can kill your audio quality.
Your mic is only as good as the cable that connects it.
That's why professional creators and podcast studios always use the right type of cable for each device — especially if they’re recording for YouTube, Spotify, or Instagram Reels.
1. XLR Cable for Microphones – A Must for Clear Sound
If you're using a condenser or dynamic mic, like the popular Audio-Technica AT2020 or Boya XLR mics, then you need a balanced XLR to XLR cable. These cables:
- Reduce interference
- Carry clean sound over long distances
- They are standard in professional setups
If your mic has an XLR output, never use a 3.5mm AUX cable. Go for:
XLR Male to XLR Female – Available at Simpak AVI
2. Phono Mono 6.35mm (1/4") to XLR Male – For Instruments & Mixers
If you’re recording music or using a keyboard or mixer that outputs via a 6.35mm mono jack, this cable connects perfectly to:
- Mixers
- Audio interfaces
- Studio monitors
This is especially useful for Indian music producers, DJs, or even content creators who do voiceovers using mixers.

Useful for:
- Mobile interviews
- Voiceovers on-the-go
- Playing background music in videos

4. HDMI Cable – For Camera to Monitor or Capture Card
If you're filming using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, you’ll need an HDMI cable to:
- Send clean video signal to a monitor
- Connect to a capture card like Elgato or Blackmagic
Indian creators filming courses or vlogs NEED good HDMI cables that don’t lag or drop signal.

For creators on a budget or those recording with phones, a good 3.5mm stereo AUX male-to-male cable connects:
