This kenable adapter cable is for musicians, podcasters, and audio technicians needing to connect a 6.35mm (1/4 inch) mono jack device to an XLR input, or vice-versa. Its key benefit is providing a versatile link between common audio equipment with a durable, bright orange cable for easy identification. A potential caveat is its mono-only nature, unsuitable for stereo signals. This cable facilitates reliable audio signal transfer between different connector types.

No, this cable is designed for mono 6.35mm jack connections and is not suitable for stereo audio signals.
The cable is 20cm in length.
The XLR end is a 3 Pin Socket, designed to accept a male XLR plug.
This cable adapts a 6.35mm mono jack. If your microphone has a balanced mono output via a 6.35mm jack, it will be adapted to the XLR socket. However, it is not designed to convert unbalanced signals to balanced or vice versa in a way that preserves balanced audio integrity over long distances.
The orange color serves a practical purpose, making the cable highly visible for easier identification and management within audio setups, reducing the chance of misconnections or loss.
The connectors are nickel-plated to ensure good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
No, this adapter cable is designed for audio signal transfer and does not support phantom power.
Ensure both the 6.35mm jack and the XLR plug are fully and securely inserted into their respective sockets. Verify that the connected devices are powered on and configured correctly. Check if the cable is being used in the correct direction for your setup (e.g., mic to mixer, or instrument to mixer). Test with a different cable or known working devices to rule out a faulty cable.
Inspect the nickel-plated connectors for any dirt or corrosion; clean gently with a dry cloth if needed. Ensure the cable is not routed near sources of electrical interference (e.g., power cables, fluorescent lights). Check for damage to the cable jacket or connectors. If the issue persists, the cable may be damaged internally.
This cable features a flexible PVC insulated lead. If it feels unusually stiff, it may have been stored in cold conditions. Allow it to acclimate to room temperature. Avoid forcing sharp bends, as this can damage the internal wires.
Setup: Simply plug the 6.35mm (1/4 inch) mono jack plug into the corresponding socket on your audio device and the XLR 3 Pin Socket into the appropriate XLR male connector on your mixer, amplifier, or interface. Ensure both connections are firm and secure.
Compatibility: This cable is designed for mono 6.35mm jack connections. It is compatible with microphones, instruments, and other audio equipment featuring a 6.35mm mono jack output or input. The XLR end is a socket, designed to accept a standard 3-pin XLR male plug. It is not compatible with stereo signals or balanced mono signals needing a different adapter type.
Care: Keep the cable clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or excessive moisture. Periodically check the connectors for dust or debris; clean gently with a dry, soft cloth if necessary. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent or kinked, especially near the connector ends, to preserve the integrity of the internal wiring and strain relief.
