OQAN QABLP - Professional 3m XLR Female to Mono Jack Audio Cable
The OQAN QABLP is a highly reliable audio cable designed to efficiently and securely connect equipment with different signal types. Measuring 3 meters in length, this cable is the perfect solution for interconnecting devices with XLR outputs and 6.35 mm mono jack inputs. Its robust construction and the use of high-quality components ensure clean, interference-free signal transmission, making it an indispensable tool in both recording studios and live performances.
This cable features a female XLR connector on one end and a 6.35 mm TS (mono) jack on the other. One of its most notable features is its gold-plated connectors. This finish not only gives it a professional look but also serves a crucial technical function: it prevents corrosion and oxidation, ensuring a perfect and long-lasting electrical connection over time. This translates into consistent sound quality and an extended lifespan, even in humid environments or areas with temperature fluctuations.
Main features
-
Versatile Connectivity: Equipped with a 3-pin female XLR connector and a 6.35mm mono jack (TS) connector, ideal for adapting balanced signals to unbalanced inputs.
-
Optimal Length: Its 3 meters in length provide the necessary flexibility for most applications in stages, home studios or rehearsal rooms, without generating excess cable.
-
Gold-Plated Connectors: Gold-plated connectors offer superior conductivity and maximum corrosion resistance, ensuring pure signal transmission and preventing long-term audio degradation.
-
Durable Construction: Designed to withstand the rigors of continuous use, it features a flexible and tough PVC outer cover that protects the internal conductors and effective strain relief on the connectors to prevent breakage from twisting or pulling.
-
Signal Quality: The cable design is optimized to minimize noise and electromagnetic interference, delivering clear sound that is true to the original source.
Product benefits
The OQAN QABLP cable offers musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts peace of mind with a reliable connection. The quality of its materials ensures that the integrity of the audio signal is maintained from source to destination. Forget about the noise, pops, or signal loss caused by lower-quality cables. Its durability makes it a smart investment, withstanding the wear and tear of frequent setup and teardown typical of live music and touring environments.
Use cases
This cable is especially useful in specific situations where different types of connections need to be adapted. Some practical examples include:
- Connect the output of a dynamic microphone directly to the instrument input of a guitar or bass amplifier.
- Send the audio signal from the line out of a mixing console to the input of a self-powered speaker that has a jack input.
- Connect the unbalanced output of a DI box to the line input of an audio interface or console.
- Interconnect synthesizers, keyboards or effects processors with XLR outputs to equipment with mono Jack inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable to connect a condenser microphone that needs phantom power?
No. This cable converts the signal to unbalanced at the jack connector end, preventing the passage of the phantom power (+48V) required by condenser microphones. For these types of microphones, an XLR to XLR (male-female) cable is necessary.
What is the real advantage of gold-plated connectors?
The main advantage is the durability and reliability of the connection. Gold is a material highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion. This prevents the contacts from deteriorating over time, which could cause intermittent connections, noise, or signal degradation. It ensures a clean and stable electrical connection for much longer than standard connectors.
Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
This cable is an adapter that converts a balanced (XLR) signal to an unbalanced (Mono Jack/TS) signal. Although the XLR end may come from a balanced source, the signal becomes unbalanced at the jack connector. Therefore, it is ideal for short distances and is not recommended for very long distances where interference could be a problem.
Project description
Professional audio cable, 3 meters long. It features a 3-pin female XLR (XLR-F) connector on one end and a 6.35 mm mono TS (Tip-Sleeve) jack on the other. The contact points of both connectors are gold-plated to ensure optimal conductivity and high corrosion resistance. The outer jacket is made of black PVC, providing flexibility and durability.
