Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this cable suitable for condenser microphones that require phantom power?
- Yes, the PD-Connex CX35-3 is a standard 3-pin balanced cable and is fully capable of carrying +48V phantom power from a mixing console or interface to a condenser microphone.
- What does it mean for a cable to be "balanced"?
- A balanced cable uses three conductors to transmit the signal. Two of them carry the same signal but with reversed polarity, and the third is ground. This configuration allows the receiving equipment to effectively cancel out noise and interference picked up along the cable, which is crucial for maintaining a clear signal over long distances.
- Can I use this cable to control lights with DMX protocol?
- Yes, although there are specific DMX cables with an impedance of 110 ohms, this 3-pin XLR cable is functionally compatible and can be used to control DMX lighting systems, especially in simple installations and short runs.
