The adapter features a metal housing on both the jack and XLR ends, with the jack plug configured as a two-contact mono connection (tip and sleeve).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for live sound, studio patching and installation work where equipment with 6.3mm jack outputs needs to connect to XLR inputs on mixing desks, amplifiers or signal processors. The adapter is passive, carrying the mono signal from the jack tip to XLR pin 2, with the sleeve and pin 1 both grounded to shield. This configuration works for unbalanced mono signals but does not provide the noise rejection of a balanced connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal construction on both connectors provides durability in regular use and maintains reliable contact points under repeated plugging and unplugging. The XLR male end fits standard XLR female sockets on audio equipment, while the 6.3mm jack end accepts any mono or stereo jack plug, though stereo signals will only pass the left channel when used with this mono adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this adapter balance an unbalanced signal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The adapter is passive and simply converts the physical connector type. It carries an unbalanced mono signal from the jack tip to XLR pin 2, with both grounds tied together. It does not add the phase-inverted signal required for true balanced operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used with stereo jack sources?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but only the left channel (tip contact) will be passed through to the XLR output. The right channel (ring contact) on a stereo jack is not connected in this mono adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat equipment is this typically used with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon uses include connecting instrument outputs, DJ equipment, or consumer audio devices with 6.3mm jack outputs to professional mixing desks, amplifiers or processors with XLR inputs. Also used in installation work where signal routing requires conversion between jack and XLR connector types.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313479672075,"sku":"763.946UK","price":1.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/763946UK_LD1_ee765995-1d5e-4810-9fbb-c492d7dffc2c.jpg?v=1715193918","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/qtx-6-3mm-mono-jack-to-xlr-male-adapter","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
