Great but a very stiff cable. Also I cannot use it for open mic because I cannot rely on the performer to plug in or unplug because there is not time to "train" them to press the button at the crucial moment, for them ,I use the cables with automatic switching plugs that prevent pops these work without any care being required by the performers who often unplug without waiting for the sound an ok. I use this D,Addario cable for myself with my sound equipment and as guest on other systems with their agreement( allowing me to safely plug or unplug without having to require the sound man to silence the channel each time. The 4star rating,, because the cable is uncomfortably stiff, and it's not even winter yet.. and  on the right-angle plug it is a little precariously awkward to sufficiently press the cut-out button unplugging
