PD-Connex CX36-12 - 12m Professional XLR Male to Female Audio Cable
The PD-Connex CX36-12 is a professional audio signal cable designed to deliver flawless and reliable sound transmission in any environment. With a generous length of 12 meters, this cable is the perfect solution for stages, large recording studios, conference rooms, and any application requiring long-distance equipment connections without compromising quality. Its robust construction and high-quality components ensure exceptional performance and exceptional durability, making it an indispensable tool for sound engineers, musicians, and technicians.
Made with a flexible, low-noise cable and superior shielding, the CX36-12 is designed to protect the audio signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This results in a clean, clear signal free of unwanted hum or noise, crucial for both studio recordings and live performances. Its 3-pin metal XLR connectors (male on one end and female on the other) ensure a secure and stable connection, with a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections.
Main features
-
Professional Connectivity: Equipped with industry-standard 3-pin XLR connectors (male to female), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microphones, mixing consoles, active speakers, and audio interfaces.
-
Extended Length: Its 12 meters in length provide exceptional flexibility to cover large distances, ideal for stages, sets and large recording studios.
-
Pure Signal Transmission: Thanks to its balanced cable design and dense shielding (45x0.1mm), it effectively minimizes noise and interference for pristine audio quality.
-
Robust and Flexible Construction: The cable has a 7mm diameter outer coating that gives it great resistance to wear from continuous use, while maintaining excellent flexibility for easy handling and storage.
-
High Quality Metal Connectors: The connectors are of robust metal construction and feature a locking system for a reliable and secure connection that will not come loose during critical moments.
Product benefits
The PD-Connex CX36-12 is designed for the professional who cannot afford any failures. Its main benefit is the peace of mind it offers, knowing that the audio signal will remain intact and interference-free, from source to destination. Its durable construction ensures a long lifespan, even under the most demanding conditions of touring and live events, representing a smart and reliable investment. The 12-meter length eliminates space limitations, allowing for optimal equipment placement without the need for splices or extenders that could degrade the signal.
Use cases
This cable is extremely versatile and is the ideal choice for a multitude of professional audio applications:
- Connecting dynamic and condenser microphones to mixing consoles or preamplifiers.
- Link between mixing consoles and self-powered speakers or power amplifiers.
- Connecting signal processing equipment to studio racks (equalizers, compressors, etc.).
- Fixed audio installations in auditoriums, theaters and churches.
- Public address (PA) systems for live events and conferences.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable balanced?
Yes, the PD-Connex CX36-12 is a balanced cable. It uses three conductors (two for the signal and one for ground/shielding) to effectively cancel noise and interference, which is essential for long cable runs.
Are the connectors made of metal?
Yes, both connectors, the male and female XLR, are made of high-quality metal to ensure greater durability and a reliable electrical connection.
Can I use this cable for DMX lighting?
Although the 3-pin connectors are physically identical, using an XLR audio cable to control DMX lights is not recommended. DMX cables have a specific impedance (110-120 ohms) different from that of audio cables to ensure error-free digital data transmission. Using the wrong cable, especially over long distances like 12 meters, can cause erratic lighting operation. For DMX applications, a cable specifically designed for this purpose should be used.
