Description
This QTX Essential speaker lead pairs a 6.3mm mono jack plug with an SPK connector, giving you a reliable link between amplifiers, speakers and PA gear. It measures 1.5m, which suits shorter runs on stage, in rehearsal rooms or around a fixed install where you want to keep cable clutter down.
The cable itself has a 5.8mm diameter and uses two conductors, each made from 30 strands of 0.17mm wire. That construction gives it enough flexibility to coil and pack away without stiffness, while the soft-grip, anti-tangle jacket helps it stay neat and easy to handle between gigs. The connections are machine-assembled for consistency, and the plugs are built to hold up to regular plugging and unplugging.
In the UK you'll often hear a 6.3mm connector called a quarter-inch jack, which is the same fitting used across guitars, mixers and powered speakers. The SPK end, sometimes known as a speakon-style plug, locks into matching sockets for a secure hold. Between them these connectors cover most common speaker setups, so the lead works well as a spare in your kit bag or as a straightforward replacement for a worn cable.
