High-quality audio sound and robustness Using Neutrik connectors NP3X Jack, NC3FXX 3 pin Female XLR, and Van Damme OFC balanced cable in the assembly which are some of the best names in the industry when it comes to audio.
Available Colours: Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Purple Grey White.
Standard Connections are made between the connectors on:
Pin 2 XLR - Tip Jack (Hot)
Pin 3 XLR - Ring Jack (Cold)
Pin 1 XLR - Sleeve Jack (Screen)
Applications examples:
Line mixer XLR output to active speakers using TRS jack inputs on the active speaker
XLR outputs on a keyboard to active speakers using TRS jack inputs on the active speaker
XLR outputs on compressors, limiters, graphic equaliser, audio processors, to balanced mixer inputs, aux inputs, matrix inputs
Link lead between power amplifier inputs - XLR balanced out yo TRS input
Balanced microphone to microphone balanced mic input Jack
Patching in racks between FX units, EQ media output devices.
Can be used for any mic/line level use
Mixer output to active speaker input (note an active speaker is a speaker with an amplifier built into it)
Please note that all inputs and output must be balanced
There are so many applications to list - if you are unsure why not ask a question? We have extensive knowledge...
For mic/line level use only - Never to be used for low impedance, such as, power amplifier output to passive speaker - if you need this type of lead contact us we can make it.
This lead is a balanced configuration and is intended for balanced audio equipment.
Note if you use this lead on a piece of audio equipment that doesn't have a balanced input or output your audio may not sound correct as pin 3 will not be connected. Please ensure that both your input and output is balanced before buying this lead. Please consult your user manual for both of your input and output audio equipment if you are unsure.
Important - Lead length Reference Points
PLEASE MEASURE UP CAREFULLY TO AVOID ERRORS
Leads 1m or less (patch leads) will be measured visible cable from the rear black boot of the connector. We add 110mm of cable FREE to compensate for the connectors.
Leads over 1m will be measured cut length of cable. Both of the connectors will use up 110mm of cable.
If you need any specific length or need a little extra please ask - it can be made to that length as these are made to measure when we receive the order. Contact through ebay messages.
We can make the lead to an exact length if you want - Order the lead that is slightly longer and message us through eBay.
If you want a longer lead let us know.
