Description
This Citronic audio lead connects a 6.3mm stereo TRS jack plug to a male XLR connector, giving you a balanced signal path over a 3.0m run. It's built for reliable use in studios, on stage and around the home, with die-cast pro-quality connectors on each end. The balanced wiring keeps interference down over longer cable runs, which helps maintain a clean signal.
The cable itself measures 6mm in diameter and uses two pure copper conductors, each made from 20 strands of 0.1mm wire. Cotton reinforcement adds strength inside, while the shielded construction guards against noise pickup. Connections are machine-soldered, and the pin-out follows the balanced standard: pin 1 to sleeve, pin 2 to tip and pin 3 to ring.
The outer jacket is a soft-grip, rubberised finish that resists tangling and stays flexible when you coil it away. A 6.3mm jack is often called a quarter-inch jack in the US, and this one carries both left and right contacts as a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) plug. Whether you're linking a mixer to a powered speaker or a balanced output to a stage box, this lead is a practical, hard-wearing choice at a sensible length.
