FAQs
What does 'TS' mean in 3.5mm TS?
TS stands for Tip-Sleeve. It refers to a mono (unbalanced) audio connector, commonly used in Eurorack and guitar applications. It has two conductors: one for the signal (Tip) and one for the ground (Sleeve).
How many cables are included in a pack?
Each pack of Nazca Noodles Patch Cables includes five (5) cables.
Can I use these cables for stereo signals?
No, these are 3.5mm TS mono cables. For stereo signals, you would typically need two mono cables or a dedicated stereo cable (often TRS).
Are these cables shielded?
Yes, Nazca Noodles cables are designed with shielding to minimize interference and ensure clean signal transmission, which is essential for modular synthesis.
What other lengths and colors are available?
Nazca Noodles are available in seven different lengths and six colors. Please check the product catalog for specific availability.
Where are these cables manufactured?
Nazca Noodles are developed in partnership between Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers and Cre8audio. Manufacturing details are not specified beyond this partnership.
What is the warranty on these cables?
Information regarding warranty is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official channels for warranty details.
Troubleshooting
No audio signal or intermittent signal.
Ensure the cable is fully seated in both the source and destination jacks. Try using a different Nazca Noodles cable or a known working cable to isolate the issue. Check that the correct input/output jacks are being used on your modules.
Cable feels too stiff or too loose.
The cables are designed for a secure fit. If a connector feels unusually loose, it may be a faulty unit or the jack on the module may be worn. If it feels excessively stiff, ensure you are pushing it straight in and not at an angle. Contact support if the issue persists with multiple modules.
