Description
This Citronic audio lead pairs two female XLR connectors with two 6.3mm mono jack plugs, giving you a twinned run for stereo or dual-mono connections over a 3.0m length. It suits mixers, amplifiers, active speakers and any setup where you need to link balanced XLR outputs to jack inputs, or the reverse. The 6.3mm mono jack is also known as a quarter-inch plug, so the same lead works across a lot of common studio and live gear.
The build is aimed at regular use. Each XLR connector is die-cast for strength, and the connections are machine-soldered for consistency. The cable itself is twin 5mm diameter, made with pure copper conductors and cotton reinforcement to help it hold up under repeated coiling and travel. Shielding keeps interference down, so you get clean sound whether the lead is running near power cables or across a busy stage.
The outer jacket is a soft-grip, rubberised finish designed to resist tangling, which makes packing down and setting up quicker. With 12-strand 0.1mm copper conductors in each core, the lead is flexible without feeling flimsy. It is a straightforward, reliable choice for permanent installs and mobile rigs alike, and the 3.0m length gives enough reach for most desk-to-rack or speaker connections without excess cable to manage.
