PD-Connex CX44-3 - Professional XLR Male to 6.3 mm Stereo Jack Cable, 3 meters

The PD-Connex CX44-3 is a high-quality balanced signal cable designed for audio professionals, musicians, and sound engineers seeking clean, reliable, and interference-free signal transmission. At 3 meters long, this cable offers the flexibility needed to connect a wide variety of audio equipment in studio, stage, or live environments. Its robust construction and the use of premium components ensure exceptional performance and a long lifespan.

This cable features a 3-pin male XLR connector on one end and a 6.3 mm TRS (stereo) jack on the other, both metal to ensure a solid and durable connection. The balanced configuration is crucial for minimizing noise and electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference, resulting in a pure and crystal-clear audio signal, essential for professional recording and sound reinforcement applications.

Main features

• Balanced Signal Transmission: Designed to convert a balanced 6.3mm TRS jack output to a balanced XLR input, or vice versa, effectively eliminating unwanted noise for superior audio clarity.
• High-Quality Metal Connectors: Equipped with a robust, metal XLR male connector and 6.3mm stereo jack that ensure a secure and durable connection for continuous use.
• Flexible and Durable Construction: The cable has an outer diameter of 6 mm and a flexible design that prevents tangling and facilitates handling and storage. Its PVC jacket protects the internal conductors, ensuring durability in any work environment.
• Excellent Shielding: Thanks to its shielding of 84 copper wires of 0.1 mm, the cable offers superior protection against external interference, preserving the integrity of the audio signal.
• Copper Conductors: The conductor core is composed of 28 copper strands of 0.1 mm, ensuring optimal conductivity and accurate, lossless signal transmission.
• Cable Tie Included: Supplied with a handy cable tie to keep it tidy during transport and storage.

Benefits for audio professionals

The PD-Connex CX44-3 is an essential tool for any professional audio setup. Its main benefit lies in its ability to deliver a clean, noise-free audio signal, indispensable in recording studios, live performances, podcasting, and video production. The reliability of its connectors and the durability of its construction allow users to focus on their work without worrying about technical failures or signal degradation, ensuring consistently professional results.

Use cases

This cable is extremely versatile and is the ideal solution for a multitude of audio applications, including:

• Connecting active studio monitors to an audio interface.
• Connecting mixing consoles to power amplifiers or self-powered speakers.
• Interconnection of effects processors, equalizers and other rack equipment.
• Connecting microphones to balanced line inputs on mixers or preamplifiers.
• Used in stage settings to connect instruments with balanced outputs to direct injection (DI) boxes or mixers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
Yes, it's a balanced cable. It uses a 6.3 mm TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) jack connector and a 3-pin XLR connector, allowing for balanced signal transmission that significantly reduces noise and interference.

Can I connect a microphone directly to a line input on my mixer with this cable?
Yes, that's one of its main applications. You can connect the output of a microphone with an XLR connector to a balanced line input (6.3 mm TRS jack) of a mixing console or audio interface.

What is the difference between a stereo jack (TRS) and a mono jack (TS)?
A stereo jack (TRS) has three contacts (tip, ring, sleeve) and can carry a balanced mono signal or an unbalanced stereo signal. A mono jack (TS) only has two contacts (tip, sleeve) and can only carry an unbalanced signal. This cable uses a TRS connector to ensure a balanced connection.
