Product Information

Full details

This KabelDirekt RCA/phono cable is ideal for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts seeking superior audio transmission. Its key benefit is providing clear, flawless sound with minimal signal loss due to its 75 ohm impedance and gold-plated connectors. A minor caveat is its specific suitability for analogue and digital audio, though its superior analogue performance is its primary advantage. The cable features dual RCA/phono connectors (male to male), gold-plated contacts, a durable PVC jacket, and double-layer screening for interference-free performance.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the 75 ohm impedance?

The 75 ohm impedance is specifically optimized for high-quality analogue audio signal transmission. It ensures a better match between connected devices, leading to clearer sound with minimal signal loss and distortion compared to cables with different impedance ratings not designed for audio.

Can this cable be used for digital audio signals?

Yes, while its 75 ohm impedance makes it superior for analogue audio, it is also suitable for digital audio signals that use RCA connections (like S/PDIF coaxial digital audio).

How durable are the connectors?

The connectors feature gold-plated contacts and are surrounded by break-proof metal sleeves, designed for incredible longevity and reliable connections, resisting wear and tear.

What does 'dual RCA/phono connectors (male to male)' mean?

It means the cable has two plugs on each end, typically colored red and white, which insert directly into the corresponding ports on your audio equipment. Both ends of the cable have male plugs.

How effective is the shielding against interference?

The cable features a double-layer screening, comprising an aluminium-Mylar foil and a tightly woven copper braiding. This provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring a clean audio signal.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

KabelDirekt offers a 36-month manufacturer's warranty for this product.

What is the benefit of gold-plated connectors?

Gold plating provides excellent conductivity for optimal signal transfer and resists oxidation and corrosion, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting connection.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent audio

Ensure all RCA connectors are securely plugged into both the source and receiving devices. Check that the correct input source is selected on your receiving device. Verify the cable is not damaged and try testing with another known-good cable if possible.

Humming or buzzing sound

This often indicates interference. Ensure the cable is not running near power cables or sources of electromagnetic interference. Reseat the connectors firmly. If the issue persists, the cable's internal shielding may be compromised, or the interference source is very strong.

Sound quality is poor or distorted

Check for a secure connection at both ends. Ensure the cable is fully inserted. Verify that the audio source and receiving devices are functioning correctly and set to appropriate volume levels. The cable's high-quality construction minimizes this, but source/receiver issues are common.

One channel (left or right) is not working

Inspect the individual RCA plugs to ensure they are clean and properly seated. Try swapping the cable connections at the receiving end to see if the problem follows the channel or the input port. If the issue persists, the cable may have a fault in one of its internal conductors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior analogue audio transmission due to 75 ohm impedance.
  • Excellent sound quality with minimal signal loss.
  • Robust build with break-proof metal sleeves for longevity.
  • Effective shielding against interference for a clean signal.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable contact and durability.

Cons

  • Primarily optimized for analogue signals, though also supports digital.
  • Specific impedance may not be ideal for all digital-only applications where lower impedance is preferred.
  • The 3-meter length may not suit all setups without extensions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the Red and White RCA/phono connectors on your audio source device (e.g., CD player, TV output) and your receiving device (e.g., amplifier, soundbar).
  2. Connect the Red 'R' plug from the cable to the Red 'R' audio output on your source device.
  3. Connect the White 'L' plug from the cable to the White 'L' audio output on your source device.
  4. Connect the other end of the cable (Red to Red 'R', White to White 'L') to the corresponding audio input ports on your receiving device.
  5. Ensure a firm, secure connection for optimal signal transfer.

Compatibility:

This cable is designed for devices with standard RCA/phono audio ports. It is compatible with:

  • Amplifiers and receivers
  • Stereo systems
  • CD players, DVD players, Blu-ray players
  • Televisions with analogue audio outputs
  • Turntables (with appropriate preamplification)
  • Soundbars and active speakers
  • Gaming consoles with analogue audio output

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply or placing heavy objects on it.
  • Keep connectors clean by gently wiping with a dry, soft cloth.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Periodically check connections for dust or debris and clean gently if necessary.
