Description
This QTX Essential speaker lead gives you a straightforward way to connect your speakers and amplifiers using standard 6.3mm mono jack plugs at both ends. The 6.3mm jack, sometimes called a quarter-inch jack, is a common fitting across active speakers, mixers and instrument amplifiers, so this lead slots neatly into most setups. At 3.0 metres, it offers enough reach for stage, studio or home use without leaving too much cable to manage.
The lead is built with a soft-grip, anti-tangle jacket that keeps the cable easy to coil and store between uses. Both jack plugs are moulded onto the cable, which helps them stand up to repeated plugging and unplugging, and the connections are machine-soldered for consistency. Inside, the cable carries two conductors, each made from 30 strands at 0.17mm diameter, with an overall cable diameter of 5.8mm. That balance of strand count and gauge suits general speaker signal work and everyday portable use.
As part of the QTX Essential range, this lead is aimed at anyone who needs a reliable connection without paying for extras they will not use. It is a good choice for gigging musicians, mobile DJs, small venues and anyone building up a stock of spare cables. Keep one in your bag or flight case and you will always have a known, working link between your gear. The durable construction means it should give you plenty of service across regular jobs.
