OQAN QABL JPM-05-XM - Jack 1/4" Mono to XLR Male Audio Cable (5 Meters)
The OQAN QABL JPM-05-XM is an essential and robust connectivity solution designed for musicians, sound engineers, and producers who demand reliability in their audio setups. This 5-meter cable acts as a vital bridge between instruments or equipment with unbalanced line outputs and amplification or recording systems with XLR inputs. Manufactured to Oqan's strict quality standards, this model guarantees clean and stable signal transmission, making it an indispensable accessory in any gear bag, recording studio, or stage setup.
The cable's construction is notable for its use of carefully selected materials to minimize interference and maximize durability. Its high-quality metal connectors ensure a secure fit in the ports, preventing accidental disconnections during live performances. Thanks to its 5-meter length, it offers the freedom of movement needed to connect synthesizers, drum machines, or amplifier line outputs directly to powered monitors or mixing consoles, without the strain and limitations of standard short cables.
Main features
-
Precise Hybrid Connectivity: Equipped with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) Mono Jack (TS) connector on one end and a 3-pin Male XLR connector on the other, ideal for quick signal adaptations.
-
High Fidelity Transmission: Manufactured with oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, ensuring pure signal transfer with low capacitance and minimal high-frequency loss.
-
Effective Shielding: It features high-density shielding that protects the audio signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency noise (RFI), common in stage environments.
-
Durable Coating: Its flexible PVC outer cover not only makes coiling and storage easier, but also protects the cable from being stepped on, twisted, and from the usual wear and tear of heavy use.
Product benefits
-
Immediate Versatility: Solves the common problem of connector incompatibility without the need for external adapters that can degrade the signal or be easily lost.
-
Long-Term Durability: Precision-welded and reinforced connectors are designed to withstand the rigors of touring and constant assembly/disassembly.
-
Clean Sound: By using OFC copper, the cable preserves the integrity of your instrument's tone, delivering a clear and defined sound to the PA system or recording interface.
-
Order and Safety: The 5-meter length is the gold standard for keeping the stage tidy, allowing you to reach from the instrument to the stage box or table without excess cable or tension.
Use cases
-
Keyboardists and Producers: Connect synthesizers, keyboards or samplers with L/R Jack (Mono) output directly to XLR inputs of studio monitors or live consoles.
-
Amplification: Sending a signal from the "Line Out" (Jack) output of a bass or guitar amplifier to a mixing console or audio interface.
-
Karaoke and Events: Connection of basic dynamic microphones or playback systems with Jack output to self-powered speakers with XLR input.
-
Recording Studios: Patching external effects processors or instrument preamps to specific hardware inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable balanced?
No. Because it has a Mono Jack (TS) connector on one end, the signal transmission is unbalanced, even though the XLR end has 3 pins. It is designed to connect unbalanced sources to balanced inputs.
-
Can I use it to connect a microphone to an amplifier?
It depends on the connections. This cable has a male XLR connector, so it's typically used to connect a jack device to an XLR device. It won't work with a standard microphone (which requires a female XLR connector) unless you use additional adapters.
-
Does the 5-meter length affect the sound quality?
Not at all. For good quality instrument and line cables like this Oqan, 5 meters is a safe distance where no audible signal loss is noticeable.
