Recommended use cases
-
Guitar and bass cable extension: Ideal for joining two instrument cables when the stage is larger than expected.
-
Studio connections: Perfect for extending monitor lines or connecting distant rack equipment without moving all the furniture.

Pedalboards: Facilitates the connection between different sections of a complex pedalboard if longer bridges are needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this adapter work for stereo (TRS) cables?
The AT280 is a Mono (TS) adapter. Although you can physically insert a stereo connector, the signal will be shorted to mono or you will lose a channel (ring), so it is recommended exclusively for mono signals (guitars, basses, mono synthesizers).
-
Does it affect sound quality?
No. Being a passive connector with good conductive materials and a metal casing, the insertion loss is virtually zero, keeping the audio quality intact.
-
Is it compatible with speaker cables?
Yes, provided the speaker cables use 6.3 mm jack connectors. It is capable of handling standard speaker signal loads.
