OQAN QABL JPM-01-XM - Professional Audio Cable Jack 1/4" Mono to XLR Male - 1 Meter
The OQAN QABL JPM-01-XM is the ultimate connectivity solution for musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts seeking reliability without breaking the bank. This 1-meter adapter cable is designed to bridge the gap between equipment with different connection standards, enabling clean and seamless signal transmission between unbalanced instrument or line outputs and XLR inputs.
Manufactured to Oqan's strict quality standards—a brand renowned for its robust and durable musical accessories—this cable eliminates common compatibility issues in the studio or on stage. Its construction incorporates heavy-duty metal connectors that withstand intensive use, while its flexible sheathing facilitates routing in tight spaces, such as behind effects racks, pedalboards, or compact mixing consoles.
As it's a Mono Jack (TS) to Male XLR connection, this cable is an indispensable tool in any audio "survival kit." It's ideal for situations where you need to connect a line output from a synthesizer, drum machine, or mixer's auxiliary output directly to a power amp, active monitor, or patchbay that requires an XLR input, maintaining signal integrity over short distances.
Main features
-
High-quality connectors: Equipped with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) Mono Jack and a 3-pin Male XLR connector, both with metal housings to ensure long life and protection against pulling.
-
Efficient transmission: Designed to minimize noise and interference, ensuring your sound gets from point A to point B clearly.
-
Optimized length: Its 1-meter extension is perfect for close interconnections, avoiding the excess of coiled cable that usually generates clutter and possible signal losses or ground loops.
-
Connection versatility: Solves the common problem of adapting unbalanced instrument or line outputs to physical XLR inputs.
-
Flexibility and resistance: The outer cover protects the internal conductors without sacrificing flexibility, allowing the cable to be stored and deployed quickly.
Product benefits
Choosing the OQAN QABL JPM-01-XM cable brings immediate peace of mind. Its main benefit lies in its mechanical and sonic reliability ; by using precision-soldered connectors, it avoids the false contacts that often ruin recordings or live performances. Furthermore, its ideal length for short connections helps keep your workspace tidy and professional, reducing visual clutter and accidental tripping hazards in the studio.
Use cases
-
Recording Studios (Home Studio): Connecting synthesizers or drum machines with Jack output to audio interfaces or patchbays with XLR inputs.
-
Live Sound: Sending signal from auxiliary outputs of a small mixing console to nearby active stage monitors.
-
Effects Racks: Interconnection of signal processing modules within the same rack cabinet where the distance is minimal.
-
DJs and Electronics: Connecting controllers or samplers to portable PA systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this cable convert an unbalanced signal to a balanced one?
Not technically. Although it has an XLR connector (which is usually associated with balanced signals), the cable physically adapts the connection. The signal remains unbalanced (TS) upon entering the XLR. It's perfect for short distances, like this 1-meter model.
-
Can I use it to connect a microphone to a guitar amplifier?
This is generally not the recommended use, as the connectors are oriented from Jack to XLR Male (and microphones typically require XLR Female). Furthermore, the impedance would be incorrect. This cable is better suited for line-level signals and instruments.
-
Is it durable enough for touring?
Yes, the connectors are metallic and the overall construction of Oqan is designed to withstand frequent assembly and disassembly.
