Description
The Citronic MP3-JK is a 1.5m audio lead that connects a 3.5mm stereo jack plug to a 6.3mm (quarter-inch) mono jack plug. It suits jobs where you need to feed an MP3 player, smartphone, tablet or laptop into a mixer or an active speaker. The left and right signals from the source are summed together into a single mono output, so both channels reach the destination through one connection.
Both plugs are die-cast for durability, and the connections are machine-soldered for consistent, reliable joins. Inside the shielded cable you'll find pure copper conductors, with 10 x 0.1mm strands at the centre and 28 x 0.1mm strands for the shielding. Cotton reinforcement adds strength, while the soft-grip, rubberised jacket resists tangles and stays easy to handle during setup and pack-down.
The overall cable diameter is 3.5mm and the length is 1.5m, which keeps things tidy for short runs between a portable source and your PA or mixing desk. The pin-out sums the tip and ring to mono, so this is the right choice when your input expects a mono signal from a stereo source. If you regularly plug a phone or laptop into live or install audio gear, this lead covers that connection with straightforward, dependable build quality.
