The plug handles tip-sleeve (TS) connections for unbalanced mono audio signals, used across guitars, keyboards, instruments, amplifier inputs, and patch bays in both live and studio environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for repeated plugging and unplugging, the NP2X uses a metal barrel construction that resists impact and cable stress better than moulded plastic alternatives. The internal strain relief clamps onto the cable jacket to prevent the solder joints from taking the mechanical load when cables are pulled or twisted during performance. The contacts are precision-machined to provide consistent grip on the socket sleeve, reducing intermittent crackle and signal dropout common with cheaper plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel fits cables with outer diameters up to 8mm and accepts a wide range of standard instrument and patch cables. The nickel-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over thousands of insertion cycles. The black plastic chuck provides cable entry protection and a comfortable grip for unplugging under stage or studio conditions where visibility is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable diameter does it accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NP2X accepts cables with an outer diameter up to 8mm. Most standard instrument cables (6-7mm OD) fit comfortably with room for the strain relief to clamp securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it suitable for balanced signals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The NP2X is a two-conductor mono plug (tip and sleeve) for unbalanced signals. For balanced connections use a three-conductor TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) plug or an XLR connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be soldered onto existing cables?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The NP2X is a solder-type connector requiring basic soldering skills. Strip the cable, solder the conductor to the tip terminal and the screen to the sleeve, then reassemble the barrel and strain relief chuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes it different from moulded plugs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-metal construction and serviceable design mean the NP2X can be repaired if a solder joint fails, rather than replacing the entire cable. The precision contacts also maintain better grip and lower contact resistance than moulded plastic equivalents over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313472725259,"sku":"750.735UK","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/750735UK_LD1_cc06fa8d-4f62-4540-ade3-cc6ff133590b.jpg?v=1715193801","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/neutrik-np2x-6-3mm-mono-jack-plug-metal-body","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
