Description
This QTX Essential speaker lead connects your speakers and amplifiers with a 6.3mm mono jack plug at one end and an SPK plug at the other. It measures 3.0 metres, giving you enough reach for most stage, rehearsal and home setups without leaving cable pooling on the floor. The connectors are machine-assembled, which keeps the joints consistent and helps the lead stand up to regular use.
The cable itself has a soft-grip, anti-tangle jacket, so it coils away neatly at the end of a session and pays out again without knots. Inside you get two conductors, each made from 30 strands of 0.17mm wire, held within a 5.8mm diameter cable. That construction gives the lead flexibility while carrying speaker signal reliably between your gear.
In the UK a 6.3mm mono jack is often called a quarter-inch jack, and you will see both terms used, so this lead suits anything wired for either. The SPK plug (sometimes referred to by the Speakon-style connector layout) locks into place for a secure connection. It is a straightforward, hard-wearing lead for anyone who needs a dependable link between amp and speaker, whether you are gigging, running a PA or setting up at home.
