Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable to connect a microphone?
Although a 3-pin DMX cable and an XLR microphone cable look physically the same, using them together is not recommended. Microphone cables have a different impedance (usually lower). For very short runs like this, the difference might be imperceptible, but to ensure the best sound quality and avoid potential signal problems, it's always best to use a cable specifically designed for analog audio.
What does an impedance of 110 ohms mean and why is it important?
The 110-ohm impedance is a standardized electrical characteristic for transmitting DMX and AES/EBU digital signals. Using a cable with this specific impedance ensures that the signal travels along the cable without reflections or degradation, which is essential for the data to reach the receiver correctly and without errors.
Are the connectors durable enough for frequent use?
Yes, the connectors used by Cordial in its Essentials series are designed to be robust and reliable. They feature a metal housing and a secure locking mechanism that ensures a firm connection and prevents accidental disconnections, supporting continuous use in professional environments.
