And for anything that's not semi-standardized or a long-existing design, it's definitely a ripoff of a real item being sold there. Is that actually a thing with XLR or are you exaggerating? Not too familiar with XLR. I would guess you could skip the cold audio and get down to just hot and ground, but what's the correct 4th conductor?
I'm not exaggerating. If you buy a Mogami XLR cable you know it's going to have 4 conductors and it's going to be shielded. I cut open my AmazonBasics 50 Ft XLR cable after it had failed (it started introducing a buzzing noise) and I saw it only had two conductors in it.
