PD-Connex CX60-05 - Dual Balanced Signal Cable 2x XLR Male to 2x XLR Female, 0.5m

PD-Connex CX60-05 - Dual Balanced Signal Cable 2x XLR Male to 2x XLR Female, 0.5m

The PD-Connex CX60-05 is a high-quality professional audio cable specifically designed to ensure clean, reliable, and balanced audio signal transmission. With a compact length of 0.5 meters, this cable is the perfect solution for short-range connections, such as patching equipment in a studio rack, connecting effects processors, or interconnecting audio devices on a workbench. Its dual configuration allows you to transmit two independent mono channels or a complete stereo signal through a single cable, simplifying cabling and maintaining a tidy and efficient setup.

Built to withstand the demands of professional use, the CX60-05 features Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors that enhance signal clarity and minimize distortion. Its robust shielding effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), resulting in a pure, noise-free audio signal. High-quality metal connectors ensure a solid and durable connection, while the flexible outer jacket facilitates handling and installation in any environment.

Main features

• Dual Balanced Configuration: Equipped with two 3-pin male XLR connectors on one end and two 3-pin female XLR connectors on the other, ideal for stereo or dual channel signals.
• Optimal Length: Its 0.5 meters in length are perfect for avoiding cable clutter in compact configurations, such as studio racks or desktop workstations.
• OFC Conductors: Made with Oxygen-Free Copper to ensure superior signal transmission, preserving audio fidelity and clarity.
• Effective Shielding: Each channel has individual shielding that guarantees excellent protection against noise and external interference.
• Robust Connectors: The metal connectors offer a secure connection and great durability, ready for continuous use in professional environments.
• Flexible Sheath: The cable is highly flexible, allowing for easy routing around other equipment without risk of damage.
• Simple Organization: It comes with a cable tie for easy storage and transport.

Product benefits

• Pure Audio Quality: Thanks to its balanced design and premium materials, the cable transmits sound with maximum fidelity, without noise or interference.
• Clean and Tidy Installations: The short length and dual design help maintain an organized workspace, eliminating tangles of leftover cables.
• Versatile Connectivity: Simplifies the connection of stereo equipment, such as audio interfaces to monitors, mixers to effects processors, or synthesizers to mixing consoles.
• Professional Reliability: Designed to last, this cable is a safe investment for recording studios, live sound setups, DJs, and music producers who need consistent performance.

Use cases

The PD-Connex CX60-05 cable is ideal for a wide variety of professional audio applications, including:

• Connect the stereo outputs of an audio interface or mixer to a pair of active studio monitors.
• Linking equipment in a rack, such as preamplifiers, compressors, or equalizers.
• Connect the XLR outputs of a synthesizer or keyboard to a mixing console.
• Use as an insert cable if using a suitable adapter connector.
• Connect professional CD or multimedia players to an amplification system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cable work for a stereo signal?
Yes, it is designed to carry two balanced mono signals, which is the standard configuration for a stereo audio signal (left and right channel).

Can I use it to connect a single microphone?
This is not its primary use. Although technically you could use only one of the two channels, this cable is optimized for dual connections. For a single microphone, a standard single-channel XLR male to XLR female cable is recommended.

What advantage do Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors offer?
OFC has higher conductivity than standard copper, which reduces signal degradation along the cable. This results in clearer, more accurate sound with improved response across all frequencies.

Is shielding important for such a short cable?
Yes. Even at short distances, sources of interference such as power supplies, lights, or power cables can introduce noise into the audio signal. Good shielding is always crucial to maintain signal integrity.

Project description

This professional balanced dual-configuration audio cable is 0.5 meters long. It features two 3-pin male XLR connectors and two 3-pin female XLR connectors. Each cable has a 20-strand, 0.12 mm² oxygen-free copper (OFC) center conductor and a 32-strand, 0.12 mm² shield for superior interference protection.
