PD-Connex CX38-1 - Professional Audio Cable XLR to Jack 1.5m

PD-Connex CX38-1 - Professional Audio Cable XLR to Jack 1.5m

The PD-Connex CX38-1 is a professional audio signal cable designed to provide a reliable, high-quality connection between equipment with different connector types. Measuring 1.5 meters in length, this cable is the perfect solution for interconnecting devices in recording studios, on stages, or in DJ setups. It features a male XLR connector on one end and a male 6.3 mm TS (mono) jack on the other, making it highly versatile for a wide range of audio applications.

The construction of this cable ensures clean, interference-free signal transmission. Its low-noise shielding protects the audio signal from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, resulting in clear, hum-free sound. High-quality metal connectors ensure a solid and durable connection, resistant to continuous use. Furthermore, its flexible PVC jacket facilitates handling and installation without sacrificing robustness.

Main Features

• Versatile Connectivity: Equipped with a 3-pin male XLR connector and a 6.3mm male mono jack connector, ideal for connecting balanced outputs to unbalanced inputs and vice versa.
• Optimal Length: Its 1.5 meters in length are perfect for short connections in racks, pedalboards or between nearby equipment, minimizing excess cable.
• Pure Signal and Noise-Free: Thanks to its effective shielding (64x0.12mm), the cable minimizes external interference, guaranteeing a clean and professional audio transmission.
• Robust Construction: Made with quality conductors (20x0.12mm), heavy-duty metal connectors and a flexible, durable 6mm diameter outer sheath.
• Simple Organization: Comes with a reusable cable tie to keep it tidy during storage and transport.

Product Benefits

• Professional Reliability: Designed to withstand the demands of frequent use in studio and live environments, ensuring consistent performance every time.
• Superior Sound Quality: The combination of good conductors and dense shielding results in an audio signal that maintains its integrity, free from unwanted noise and hum.
• Maximum Compatibility: Solves common interconnection problems between mixing consoles, audio interfaces, powered monitors, effects processors and other sound equipment.

Use Cases

This cable is an indispensable tool for musicians, sound technicians, and audio engineers. Some of its most common uses include:

• Connect the main or auxiliary output of a mixing console (XLR) to the input of a stage monitor or power amplifier (6.3 mm jack).
• Connect a dynamic microphone to an unbalanced line input on a mixer or audio interface.
• Integrate external effects processors, such as compressors or equalizers, into your signal chain.
• Connect the output of an instrument with an XLR connector to an amplifier or pedalboard with a Jack input.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
This is an unbalanced cable. The presence of the 6.3 mm mono (TS) jack connector makes the connection unbalanced, which is perfectly suitable and reliable for short cable lengths like this one.

Can I use this cable to power a condenser microphone?
No. This cable will not transmit the 48V phantom power required by condenser microphones, as it is an unbalanced connection. It is ideal for dynamic microphones that do not require external power.

What is the advantage of shielding?
Shielding is a conductive mesh that surrounds the internal cables. Its function is to act as a Faraday cage to protect the audio signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) generated by other electrical cables, lights, or nearby electronic devices, thus ensuring a cleaner sound.
