Before the world of Speakon some of the older (unpowered) speaker cabinets had XLR inputs (the Bose 802 MKII for instance).
This type of cable would comprise two 1.5mm or 2.5mm high current cores rather than a twin + screen that is used in DMX and microphone cables. I assume this is where the confusion lies.

Fair enough!

It's worth noting that DMX cable can be used for microphones without issues, so it's worth using DMX cable for everything.

Signal XLR cables are all three wire such as microphones leads etc. When XLR was used for speaker leads they only used two of the pins as this is all that is required. Only a few amps / speakers still use XLR as most use Speakon.
