	Of all the cables we use, XLRs are probably the most versatile. They are used in sound engineering to carry line level, instrument/mic level and speaker level signals, in lighting to carry DMX data and even to carry low voltage electricity. Because of this, they come in many different thicknesses - and it's very important you don't use the DMX cable instead of speaker cable if you don't want to melt them!

Of all the cables we use, XLRs are probably the most versatile.

Because of this, they come in many different thicknesses - and it's very important you don't use the DMX cable instead of speaker cable if you don't want to melt them!

To make it less confusing, the first coloured strip of tape at either end of XLR cables tells you should that cable for. This chart, which can also be found on the door of the metal cupboard in the Ents Cupboard, decodes the colours:
