Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are these XLR Male connectors nickel, silver, or any plated?

A: These should be nickel plated.

Q: 2. How far do the two 1/4 ends reach before they are fastened together into one cable? I need to come out of the back of a recording interface using the RCA ends. Then using the 1/4 ends, into a pair of monitors which are spread about 4 feet apart. Will the 1/4 ends of this cable reach? Thank you very much.

A: They split about 6 from the ends - but they may easily be split farther apart by gently cutting the jackets with a razor knife. Warranty is voided by this common modification however.

Q: 3. Can you extend the 1/4" plug with a female to male 1/4" extension cable? If so, how long can it be?

A: Yes. you can use extension cables for the 1/4" TS connectors. The maximum length of the extension cables would really depend on what type of devices you will be connecting from and to. Up to 25' could be OK if you use good quality cables.

Q: 4. Can I use these to connect a pair of powered "pro" speakers to a regular AVR receiver?

A: You can only connect powered speakers to an AVR receiver using the pre-out or zone 2 line outputs, but definitely not to the standard speaker outputs on the AVR receiver. The AVR receiver has a built-in amplifier that sends power to passive speakers through the standard speaker outputs and if you use the standard speaker outputs on the receiver, it will cause permanent damage to powered speakers since they have their own built-in amplifier and are not designed to receive power from another amplifier.

Q: 5. will this cable combine a both stereo tracks into 1 mono signal?

A: This cable will sum the left and right RCA inputs to mono when connected to a 1/4 unbalanced line input.

Q: 6. Is this a 3 wire cable?

A: No. Think of it as a dual monaural.

Q: 7. A lot of these cables seem to short one of the signal pins to ground, which can cause issues or even damage output circuits. Is this the case here?

A: As our trusted rep from Hosa has mentioned, this is an unbalanced cable with pins 1 and 3 connecting to the sleeve while pin 2 connects to the tip. The Rean connectors used in its construction are pro quality and made by Neutrik. An unbalanced XLR to 1/4" cable like this one has a 1/4" TS connector which won't short the signal when used to connect to an unbalanced input. Avoid using balanced XLR to 1/4" TRS cables, which could cause issues when used to connect to an unbalanced input.

Q: 8. Do these cables work with turntables..?

A: I use it. It is not too bad

Q: 9. What cable is used in these?

A: The Mogami Gold Male XLR to RCA Cable is a Mogami cable. A part number for the bulk cable used is not provided by the manufacturer.

Q: 10. I want to record DJ mixes from my Allen & Heath mixer outbound RCA to my Marantz digital recorder's XLR inputs. Is this the right product for that purpose?

A: If the Marantz offers a LINE input via XLR , then this cable should work.
