Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this Roland audio cable?

This cable is designed for professional audio applications, providing a reliable connection between instruments or microphones and audio equipment, ensuring accurate sound reproduction and minimizing noise.

What types of connectors does this cable have?

It features a 1/4-inch (6.35mm) straight male connector on one end and an XLR straight female connector on the other.

How long is the Roland RMC-B20-HIZ cable?

The cable is 6 meters (approximately 20 feet) in length.

Is this cable suitable for condenser microphones?

Yes, it is suitable for condenser microphones as it provides an XLR connection which is standard for microphone inputs, including those that supply phantom power.

Can I use this cable to connect an electric guitar to an amplifier?

This cable is not ideal for a direct guitar-to-amplifier connection as most amplifiers expect a 1/4-inch input. However, it can be used if your amplifier or audio interface has an XLR input designed for instrument-level signals or if you are using a DI box.

What does 'low capacitance' mean for audio quality?

Low capacitance in an audio cable means it has less resistance to high frequencies. This helps preserve the clarity and detail of the original sound, especially for instruments with a wide frequency range.

How should I care for this audio cable?

Avoid sharp bends, store it loosely coiled, and keep connectors clean and dry. Handle by the connector body when plugging and unplugging.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal is passing through the cable.

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct input and output ports. Test the cable with different devices to rule out a fault with the source or destination equipment.

Noticeable hum or buzzing sound.

Check that the cable is fully seated. Ensure that any connected equipment is properly grounded. Try a different cable to see if the issue persists, indicating a potential ground loop or interference problem.

Intermittent audio dropouts.

Inspect the connectors for any debris or damage. Gently flex the cable near the connectors to check for loose internal connections. If the problem continues, the cable may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Adequate length for various performance and recording scenarios.
  • Low capacitance ensures signal integrity.

Cons

  • Specific connector configuration (XLR to 1/4-inch) may require adapters for certain devices.
  • May be longer than needed for very compact setups.
  • Being a specialized audio cable, it's not universally compatible without the correct endpoints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Gently clean connectors with a dry cloth if they appear dusty or corroded.
  • When unplugging, grasp the connector housing, not the cable itself.
