OQAN QABLP - 5m Professional Audio Cable XLR Female to Stereo Jack
The OQAN QABLP is a high-quality audio cable designed to deliver a reliable, pristine sound connection in studio, stage, or home environments. Measuring 5 meters in length, this cable provides the flexibility needed to connect equipment at a distance without compromising signal integrity. It features a female XLR connector on one end and a stereo jack (6.35mm TRS) connector on the other, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of professional audio applications.
Thanks to its balanced construction, the QABLP cable effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and background noise, ensuring that the audio signal is transmitted with maximum clarity and fidelity. It is the ideal choice for connecting microphones, instruments, or mixer line outputs to audio interfaces, active studio monitors, or any equipment that requires a balanced line input via a TRS jack connector.
Main Features
-
Balanced Connection: Its design with a TRS jack connector (tip, ring, sleeve) allows balanced signal transmission, which drastically reduces unwanted noise and external interference, crucial for clean recordings and live performances.
-
Robust Connectors: Equipped with a solid construction XLR female connector and 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) male stereo jack to ensure a secure and durable connection.
-
Versatile Length: Its 5 meters in length offer excellent reach to connect devices at different points in a room, studio or stage without generating excessive tension on the connectors.
-
Signal Quality: Manufactured to preserve the original audio quality, ensuring transparent and lossless transmission from source to destination.
Benefits of a Balanced Connection
Using a balanced cable like the OQAN QABLP is essential for any audio professional or enthusiast. Its main advantage is its noise-canceling ability. In a balanced cable, the audio signal is sent through two conductors, but the polarity is reversed on one of them. Any noise picked up along the cable will affect both conductors equally. Upon reaching the receiving equipment, the signal on one of the conductors is reversed, causing the noise to cancel itself out, leaving only the original, clean audio signal.
Use Cases
- Connecting the output of a mixer or mixing console to the input of active studio monitors.
- Connect a microphone to the line input of an audio interface or preamp that uses a TRS jack connector.
- Link the stereo output of a synthesizer or keyboard to a mixing console or recording system.
- Connect audio effects processors (such as equalizers or compressors) in a professional signal chain.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cable with a stereo jack (TRS) and one with a mono jack (TS)?
A mono jack (TS) connector has two contacts (tip and sleeve) and can only carry an unbalanced signal. A stereo jack (TRS) connector has three contacts (tip, ring, and sleeve), allowing it to carry a stereo signal (left and right channels) or a single balanced signal, as is the case with this cable.
Can I use this cable to connect a microphone to the guitar input of an amplifier?
This is generally not ideal. Most guitar inputs are unbalanced (mono) and expect an instrument-level signal, which is different from a line-level or microphone-level signal. While it might work, the sound quality is likely to be suboptimal and the signal level incorrect. This cable is designed for balanced line inputs.
