Use Cases
This cable is the perfect tool for a wide variety of situations, including:
- Connect a dynamic microphone directly to the line input (unbalanced) of a mixing console, guitar amplifier, or audio interface.
- Send the output signal from a drum machine, synthesizer or keyboard with XLR output to an amplifier or PA system with 6.3 mm jack inputs.
- Connect the preamp output of a bass or guitar amplifier to a mixing console.
- Use in recording studios, rehearsal rooms, stages, live events and professional sound systems where an XLR to mono jack connection is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
It is an unbalanced cable, designed to transmit a mono signal.
Can I use it to connect a condenser microphone that needs phantom power?
No, unbalanced cables like this one cannot carry the phantom power (+48V) required by condenser microphones. For that, you would need a balanced XLR to XLR cable.
Will the sound quality be affected by it being an unbalanced cable?
For short lengths like 3 meters, an unbalanced cable with good shielding, such as the CX40-3, offers excellent sound quality. For much longer distances, balanced cables are preferable to avoid noise pickup.
