OQAN QABL JPM-06-JPM - 6 Meter Jack to Jack Instrument Cable with Metal Connectors
The OQAN QABL JPM-06-JPM is a robust and reliable connectivity solution, designed specifically for musicians seeking clear, interference-free transmission of their instrument signal. This instrument cable from the QABL series stands out for its durable construction, incorporating high-quality components that ensure a long lifespan even under the rigors of rehearsals and live performances. Its 6-meter length provides the necessary freedom of movement on stage, allowing the performer to move around comfortably without losing the connection to their amplifier or pedalboard.
Unlike cables with molded plastic connectors, this model incorporates heavy-duty metal connectors . This feature is crucial not only for protecting the internal solder joints from accidental pulls, but also for improving shielding at the most critical points in the signal chain. The cable delivers clean audio transmission, preserving the natural tone of electric guitars, basses, keyboards, and other instruments with unbalanced line outputs.
Main features
This cable has been designed with attention to the details that matter most to musicians in their daily work. Its specifications guarantee optimal performance in a variety of musical situations:
-
Professional Metal Connectors: Equipped with 1/4" (6.35 mm) jacks on both ends, covered with a metal housing that withstands shocks, stepping, and the usual wear and tear of equipment assembly and disassembly.
-
Versatile 6-Meter Length: Offers the perfect balance between reach and signal management. It's long enough for medium and large stages, yet maintains signal integrity without the treble loss that sometimes occurs with excessively long runs.
-
Unbalanced Mono Transmission: Standard TS (Tip-Sleeve) configuration ideal for the vast majority of electric and electro-acoustic instruments on the market.
-
Flexibility and Resistance: The outer coating of the cable is designed to be flexible, facilitating coiling and storage, while resisting twisting and knotting.
Benefits for the musician
Choosing the OQAN QABL JPM-06-JPM offers immediate advantages to your sound setup. The main one is mechanical reliability ; thanks to its metal terminations, the risk of connector breakage during a performance—a common problem with entry-level cables—is drastically reduced. Furthermore, its construction is designed to minimize unwanted noise and hum, ensuring that only your music is amplified.
It's a smart investment for advanced students and professional musicians who need a workhorse cable that offers excellent value for money, ensuring that the instrument's tone reaches the amplifier with the highest possible fidelity.
Use cases
-
Live performances: Its 6-meter length allows for easy movement from the pedalboard to the amplifier or from the instrument to the injection box (DI).
-
Rehearsal rooms: Ideal for environments where cables are often stepped on and handled roughly; metal connectors protect the integrity of the cable.
-
Home Studio: Perfect for connecting synthesizers, drum machines or guitars directly to the audio interface with a clean signal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for connecting an electric guitar to an amplifier?
Yes, that's the primary use of this cable. Its mono jack-to-jack configuration is the standard for electric guitars and basses.
Is it a balanced or stereo cable?
No, this model is mono (unbalanced), which is the type of cable required for standard musical instrument output. It should not be used for stereo connections.
Can the connectors be repaired?
Because they are connectors with a threaded metal casing, they generally allow access to the internal solder joints, which facilitates future repairs if necessary, unlike plastic injection-molded connectors.
Does a length of 6 meters affect the sound?
Six meters is an industry standard length that maintains an excellent balance. It allows for mobility without introducing a noticeable loss of tone (capacitance) in most modern setups.
