OQAN QABL JPS-10-XM - Balanced Audio Cable Jack TRS 6.35mm to XLR Male (10 meters)
The OQAN QABL JPS-10-XM is the ultimate solution for audio professionals and musicians who require reliable long-distance connections. This 10-meter cable is designed to carry balanced audio signals with maximum fidelity, connecting equipment with 1/4" (TRS) jack outputs to standard XLR inputs.
Manufactured to Oqan's rigorous QABL series standards, this model stands out for its robust construction and ability to reject electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), a critical factor when working with cable runs of this length. Its oxygen-free copper (OFC) core ensures that the signal arrives clean, uncolored, and with all its original dynamics, making it an essential component for recording studios, stages, and live sound setups.
Main features
-
Professional Hybrid Connectivity: Equipped with a 6.35mm (1/4") TRS Jack connector on one end and a 3-pin XLR Male connector on the other, facilitating integration between different types of audio hardware.
-
True Balanced Transmission: Specifically designed with three internal conductors to maintain a balanced signal, eliminating ground noise and hum typical of long connections.
-
Extended Length of 10 Meters: Ideal for crossing large stages, reaching from the mixing console to distant monitors, or connecting processor racks located at a distance.
-
Durable Construction: Covered with a flexible yet tough PVC jacket, able to withstand heavy use, accidental steps and constant rolling without losing its shape or integrity.
Product benefits
The main advantage of the OQAN QABL JPS-10-XM lies in its signal integrity . As a balanced cable, it uses phase cancellation to eliminate the electrical noise that cables typically pick up from the environment (lights, power supplies, screens). This means that, even at 10 meters in length, the resulting audio is crystal clear and quiet.
Furthermore, its high-quality metal connectors ensure a firm and secure connection to your devices, preventing accidental disconnections or clicking noises due to poor contact during a critical performance or recording. It's an investment in peace of mind.
Use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Connection from audio interfaces or mixing consoles (Jack output) to active monitors (XLR input) located far from the listening point.
-
Live Sound (PA): Sending signal from auxiliary outputs of mixing consoles to self-powered speakers on stage.
-
Effects Processors: Connection of external (outboard) equipment such as compressors or equalizers that require this type of connector conversion.
-
Rack Interconnection: Link between microphone preamps or patchbays and other studio equipment distributed in the room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable to connect my guitar to an XLR input?
It's not recommended. Guitars use unbalanced, high-impedance signals (TS jack), while this cable is for low-impedance, balanced line signals (TRS jack). Even if it physically fits, the impedance and levels won't be correct.
Is this cable stereo?
Physically, it's identical to a stereo cable, but in a professional context, a "TRS to XLR" cable is used to carry a balanced mono signal. The TRS connector carries the positive, negative, and ground signals, not the left and right channels.
Is there a noticeable loss of quality when it's 10 meters long?
Because it is a balanced cable made of OFC copper, signal loss is imperceptible to the human ear at this distance, keeping the highs clear and without background noise.
