Use Cases
This combo cable is the ideal tool for a wide variety of professional audio applications:
- Connecting active speakers and stage monitors from a single signal source and power distribution.
- "Daisy-chain" of the audio signal and power between multiple active speakers in PA systems.
- Fixed sound installations in theaters, concert halls, clubs and auditoriums where clean and efficient cable management is required.
- Portable sound systems for mobile DJs, touring bands and corporate events.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of power connectors does this cable use?
- It uses a Powerconnector A (blue, for power input) on one end and a Powerconnector B (gray, for power output or jumper) on the other. It is important to verify compatibility with your equipment.
- Is this cable suitable for connecting passive speakers?
- No. This cable is specifically designed for active (self-powered) speakers and other equipment that requires both an audio signal and its own power source.
- Can I use this cable to connect my first speaker to the mixing console and the wall outlet?
- This cable is optimized for daisy-chaining speakers or connecting equipment that uses Powerconnector B outputs. For the initial connection from a standard (Schuko) power outlet and a mixing console, you may need a cable with a different connector configuration.
- Is the audio cable balanced?
- Yes, 3-pin XLR connectors carry a balanced audio signal, which helps eliminate noise and interference, especially on long cable runs.
