Description
This Citronic audio lead connects 2 x female XLR sockets to 2 x RCA plugs (known as phono plugs in the UK), giving you a tidy stereo link between balanced and unbalanced gear. It measures 3 metres, so there's enough reach for a mixer, amplifier or interface without leaving cable pooled on the floor. The shielded build keeps interference down, which helps when the lead runs alongside power cables or through a busy rack.
The cable itself is a twin design at 5mm diameter, made with 12-strand 0.1mm pure copper conductors for steady signal flow. Each core carries cotton reinforcement, so the lead holds up to repeated coiling and general handling. The outer jacket is a soft-grip rubberised finish that resists tangling, making setup and pack-down quicker. Connections are machine-soldered onto die-cast XLR female connectors and RCA plugs, giving reliable joints that stand up to regular use in a studio or on stage.
Use this lead where you need to feed a balanced XLR output into RCA phono inputs, such as linking a mixer to a hi-fi amplifier, a recorder or powered speakers. It suits both fixed installs and mobile rigs where kit gets moved often. With its pure copper cores and solid connectors, it offers dependable sound and a build that lasts. If you run stereo pairs regularly, keeping a spare 3-metre lead on hand saves time when you're setting up in a hurry.
