Measuring 12 meters in length, this stereo cable with 6.3 mm jack connectors on both ends is the ideal solution for recording studios, stages, and DJ setups where distance between equipment is a critical factor. Constructed with high-quality components, it ensures your audio signal remains pure, free from noise and interference.

This flexible cable is equipped with robust metal connectors that ensure a solid and durable connection, resistant to continuous use. Its balanced (TRS) design is essential for eliminating hum and electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference, especially over long runs like this one. The result is clear, professional sound every time. A convenient Velcro cable tie is also included to keep the cable neat and tidy during transport and storage.

Main Features

• Professional Connectivity: Male 6.3mm stereo (TRS) jack connectors on both ends, compatible with a wide range of professional audio equipment.
• Generous Length: Its 12 meters in length offer enormous flexibility to connect devices in large spaces without compromising signal quality.
• Balanced and Clean Signal: Its stereo (TRS) configuration allows the transmission of balanced signals, effectively minimizing noise and external interference.
• Robust Construction: High-quality metal connectors and a flexible 6mm outer diameter coating are designed to withstand the wear and tear of professional use.
• Superior Shielding: A dense 84x0.1mm shield protects the audio signal against electrical interference, crucial to maintaining sound integrity.
• Organization Included: Comes with a reusable cable tie that makes it easy to wind up and store, preventing tangles and extending its lifespan.

Benefits for Musicians and Sound Technicians

Using the PD-Connex CX80-12 directly translates into improved audio quality and reliability. The main advantage is achieving pure, artifact-free sound , thanks to its excellent shielding and ability to carry balanced signals. For professionals on tour or in the studio, the durability of its connectors and the cable's flexibility mean a reliable tool that won't let you down in critical moments. Its 12-meter length allows for greater creative equipment placement, whether connecting a synthesizer across the room or routing monitor signals on a large stage.

Use Cases

This versatile cable is perfect for a multitude of professional audio applications, including:

• Connect keyboards, digital pianos or synthesizers to audio interfaces, mixing consoles or amplifiers.
• Send the output signal from a mixing console or audio interface to active studio monitors with a balanced TRS input.
• Interconnect rack equipment such as effects processors, equalizers, or compressors.
• Used in stage settings to connect instruments or line sources to the main sound system over long distances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable balanced?
Yes. 6.3 mm stereo jack connectors, also known as TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve), have three contact points that allow the transmission of a balanced (mono) or unbalanced stereo audio signal. For professional equipment connections, they are commonly used for balanced signals, which drastically reduces noise.

Can I use it to connect an electric guitar to an amplifier?
While it might technically transmit sound, it's not the ideal cable. Electric guitars use an unbalanced mono signal and require a cable with TS (Tip-Sleeve) connectors. Using a TRS cable like this with a guitar offers no advantages and might not work correctly in some setups.

What real advantage does shielding offer?
The shielding acts as a protective cage around the internal conductors. It blocks electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from nearby power supplies, lights, or electronic devices. In a 12-meter cable, good shielding is crucial to prevent this noise from interfering with the audio signal.
