Description
The Citronic S6-3J300 is a 3.0 metre shielded audio lead fitted with a 6.3mm stereo TRS jack plug at one end and a 3.5mm stereo TRS jack plug at the other. It carries a balanced or stereo signal between devices, so you can run a headphone or line-level source into gear that uses the larger 6.3mm (also called quarter-inch) socket. The connectors are die-cast, which gives them a solid feel and helps keep the wiring secure inside the shell.
Sound quality and reliability come down to what is inside the cable, and this lead uses pure copper conductors with cotton reinforcement for strength. The 6mm diameter jacket is soft-grip and rubberised, which keeps it flexible and cuts down on tangles when you coil it away. Connections are machine-soldered rather than hand-finished, giving a consistent joint across the run. The shielding helps reduce interference, so the signal stays clean over the full length.
This is a straightforward lead for anyone connecting a phone, laptop, tablet or portable player to a mixer, amplifier or powered speaker. The 3.5mm plug (sometimes called a mini-jack) fits most consumer devices, while the 6.3mm plug matches pro and semi-pro audio inputs. At 3.0 metres it gives enough reach for most desk and stage setups without leaving a lot of slack. Both plugs are TRS, so they support stereo or balanced mono depending on how your equipment is wired.

Frequently Asked
What length is this cable?
It is 3.0 metres long, which suits most desktop, stage and rack setups without leaving too much excess to coil away.
Does it carry a stereo signal?
Both plugs are stereo TRS (tip-ring-sleeve), so the lead can carry a stereo signal or a balanced mono signal depending on how your devices are wired.
What is a 6.3mm jack?
A 6.3mm jack is the larger connector often called a quarter-inch jack, used on mixers, amplifiers and pro audio gear.
Will the 3.5mm plug fit my phone or laptop?
Yes, the 3.5mm plug (also known as a mini-jack) fits most phones, tablets, laptops and portable players with a standard headphone or line output.
What are the conductors made from?
The cable uses pure copper conductors, with two runs of 20-strand 0.1mm wire, plus cotton reinforcement for added strength.
Is the cable shielded?
Yes, it is a shielded lead, which helps reduce interference and keep the signal clean over the full 3 metre run.
