PD-Connex CX44-12 - Professional Balanced Audio Cable XLR Male to 6.3 mm TRS Jack, 12 meters

PD-Connex CX44-12 - Professional Balanced Audio Cable XLR Male to 6.3 mm TRS Jack, 12 meters

The PD-Connex CX44-12 is a professional audio signal cable designed to deliver flawless and reliable sound transmission in any environment. Measuring 12 meters in length, this balanced cable is the perfect solution for connecting audio equipment over medium and long distances, ensuring the signal reaches its destination without loss of quality or interference. Manufactured with high-quality components, it features a 3-pin male XLR connector on one end and a 6.3 mm TRS (stereo) jack on the other. Its robust metal connectors ensure a secure and durable physical connection, while its high-density shielding protects the signal from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI).

The cable's internal structure has been optimized for professional-level performance. The conductor, composed of 28 strands of 0.1 mm, along with an 84-strand shield of 0.1 mm, ensures excellent conductivity and superior protection. Its flexible 6 mm outer diameter PVC jacket not only makes it resistant to heavy use on stages or in studios, but also facilitates handling and storage. For added convenience, a Velcro cable tie is included to keep the cable neat and tidy when not in use.

• Simple Organization: Includes a handy Velcro strap for easy, tangle-free storage.

Product Benefits

Using the PD-Connex CX44-12 directly translates to improved audio quality and reliability for your equipment. By using a balanced connection, you ensure your sound is free from annoying hum and other interference that can ruin a recording or live performance. The high-quality construction means you can rely on this cable performance after performance without worrying about connection failures or signal degradation. It's a smart investment for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who demand the best from their equipment.

Use Cases

This cable is extremely versatile and ideal for a wide variety of professional audio applications, including:

• Connect the main or monitor outputs of a mixing console to active speakers or studio monitors with a balanced jack input.
• Connect the output of an external effects processor (reverb, delay, compressor) to the insert or return channels of a mixer.
• Link audio interfaces to other studio equipment that uses XLR and TRS jack connections.
• Connect instruments with balanced line output, such as synthesizers or drum machines, to a mixing console or interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for the cable to be "balanced"?

A balanced cable uses three conductors to carry the audio signal: two for the signal (one with reversed polarity) and one for ground. The receiving equipment compares the two signals, canceling any noise introduced equally on both conductors. The result is a much cleaner, interference-free signal, especially over long cable runs.

Can I use this cable for a microphone?

If your microphone has an XLR output and the device you connect it to (such as a mixing console or interface) has a line/microphone input in 6.3 mm TRS jack format, this cable will work perfectly to carry the balanced signal.

What is the difference between a TRS (stereo) jack and a TS (mono) jack?

A TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) jack has three contacts and can be used for an unbalanced stereo signal (headphones) or a balanced mono signal (as in this cable). A TS (Tip, Sleeve) jack only has two contacts and can only carry an unbalanced mono signal, such as that of an electric guitar.
