We make this lead

We have over 30 plus years of experience in the industry. We make the lead with great care and attention in our workshop, with 4 percent silver solder and high-end soldering equipment, this lead is made to last.

This lead is also known as 'TRS lead' 'Stereo 1/4" Jack lead' or '3 poles 1/4" Jack lead' all the terms are the same.

Connections are made between the connectors on:

Tip Jack (Hot) - Tip Jack (Hot)
Ring Jack (Cold) - Ring Jack (Cold)
Sleeve Jack (Screen) - Sleeve Jack (Screen)

These are standard connections.

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 110mm of cable FREE to compensate for the connectors. Leads over 1m will be measured cut length of cable. The connectors use up 110mm 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.

This lead is a balanced configuration made only for balanced audio equipment. Both the input and the output equipment must be balanced.

If you have a piece of audio equipment that is unbalanced then you need an unbalanced lead. Unbalanced leads are guitar/patch leads which we also sell. If you have one piece of audio equipment that is balanced and one unbalanced regardless if it is input or output then you will use an unbalanced lead.

Please ensure that your input and output are balanced before buying this lead. Please consult your user manual for both your input and output audio equipment if you are unsure.

Typical applications for this lead:

Mixer to amplifier inputs
Patching mixers to outboard equipment
Mixer to USB sound device
Link lead between power amplifiers
Patching in racks between FX units, EQ media output devices.
Can be used for any mic/line-level use
Mixer output to active speaker input (note an active speaker is a speaker with an amplifier built into it)

Please note that all inputs and output must be balanced
