Van Damme Cable TRS 1/4 Jack Plug to Male XLR Black Gold Neutrik Lead

Made using Neutrik black gold connectors NP3X-B 1/4" TRS Jack Plug and NC3MXX-B 3 pin XLR and Van Damme tour grade balanced cable in the assembly which are some of the best names in the industry when it comes to audio.

Sonic brilliant, precise sound is what you will get from this lead. We also used 4 percent silver solder when making this lead. We have well over 30 years of experience within the audio trade, hands-on experience.

Boot colours add a boot colour - maybe for left-right audio or to represent a channel number perhaps. Boots would be added on both ends of the cable.

Cable Length

PLEASE MEASURE UP CAREFULLY TO AVOID ERRORS

Leads 1m or less (patch leads) will be measured by visible cable from the rear black boot of the connector. We add 100mm of cable FREE to compensate for the connectors.

Leads over 1m will be measured cut length of cable. The connectors use up 100mm of cable.

If you need any specific length or need a little extra please ask - it can be made to that length as these are made to measure when we receive the order. 

Connections are made between the connectors on:

Pin 2 XLR - Tip Jack (Hot)
Pin 3 XLR - Ring Jack (Cold)
Pin 1 XLR - Sleeve Jack (Screen)

These are standard connections.

For mic/line level use only - this is NOT for connections between an amplifier output to passive speaker

This lead is a balanced configuration made only for balanced audio equipment

Note if you use this lead on a piece of audio equipment that doesn't have a balanced input or output your audio may not sound correct as pin 3 will not be connected. Please ensure that both your input and output is balanced before buying this lead. Please consult your user manual for both of your input and output audio equipment if you are unsure.

Typical applications for this lead:

• Mixer output to active speaker input (note an active speaker is a speaker with an amplifier built into it also know as a powered speaker)
• Mixer to amplifier inputs
  
• Link lead between power amplifiers
• Output of a piece of audio equipment to mixer input channel
• Patching in racks between FX units, EQ media output devices.
• Can be used for any mic/line-level use
• DJ mixer booth output to active speaker (not a passive speaker)

Please note that all inputs and output must be balanced
