Product Information

Full details

This 2-meter right-angled mono jack cable from Loops is designed for musicians and audio professionals needing a reliable connection between instruments and amplifiers or other audio equipment. Its key benefit is a clean, interference-free signal thanks to its shielded construction and oxygen-free copper core, ensuring high-quality audio transmission. A potential caveat is its specific 6.35mm mono connector, which may not be compatible with all audio devices that require stereo or smaller jack sizes.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this cable?

This cable is primarily used to connect mono audio sources, such as electric guitars or keyboards, to amplifiers or other audio equipment.

Can I use this cable for stereo headphones?

No, this is a mono cable with 6.35mm plugs and is not designed for stereo headphones or devices requiring a stereo connection.

What does 'right-angled' mean for the connector?

The right-angled connector bends at a 90-degree angle, allowing the cable to lie flat against the equipment, saving space and reducing strain on the connection point.

Why is a 'screened' or 'shielded' cable important?

Shielding protects the audio signal from external electromagnetic interference, reducing unwanted noise and hum for a cleaner sound.

What does OFC stand for and why is it beneficial?

OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper. Using OFC in the cable's core increases signal conductivity and quality, leading to better audio performance and signal integrity.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in length.

Is this cable suitable for microphones?

While some professional microphones use 6.35mm jacks, many common microphones use XLR connectors. This cable is best suited for instrument-level mono signals.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent signal

Check that both connectors are fully seated in their respective jacks. Ensure the cable is not damaged. Test with a different cable or different equipment to isolate the issue.

Excessive hum or noise

Verify the cable is fully plugged in. Ensure the cable is not routed near power cables or sources of electromagnetic interference. Test in a different environment or with different equipment to rule out ground loop issues.

Connector is loose or does not fit properly

Ensure you are using the correct 6.35mm mono jack and that the port on your equipment is not damaged. Inspect the connector for debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a clean signal with reduced noise due to shielding.
  • Durable construction with strain relief ensures longevity.
  • Right-angled connectors are ideal for space-saving setups.
  • OFC core provides excellent signal integrity.
  • Versatile for various mono audio applications.

Cons

  • Limited to mono audio signals; not suitable for stereo applications.
  • 6.35mm jack size may not fit all devices (e.g., headphones, some pedals).
  • At 2 meters, it might be too short for some larger stage setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure your equipment (e.g., guitar, amplifier, mixer) is powered off before connecting or disconnecting the cable.
  2. Insert the straight 6.35mm mono plug into the output of your audio source (e.g., instrument).
  3. Insert the right-angled 6.35mm mono plug into the input of your audio destination (e.g., amplifier, effects pedal).
  4. Confirm a secure connection at both ends.
  5. Power on your equipment.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Use: Compatible with instruments featuring a 6.35mm mono output (e.g., electric guitars, basses, keyboards, synthesizers) and audio equipment with a 6.35mm mono input (e.g., guitar amplifiers, audio interfaces, mixers, effects pedals).
  • Not Compatible With: Devices requiring a stereo jack (TRS), smaller 3.5mm (1/8") jacks, or digital audio connections.

Care:

  • Avoid sharply bending or kinking the cable.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use.
  • Keep connectors clean and dry. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe them if necessary.
  • Protect the cable from excessive heat, moisture, and physical damage.
