This 1-meter Loops Red 3.5mm Stereo Plug to 2 x XLR Male Cable is ideal for users connecting audio devices with a 3.5mm output (like laptops or smartphones) to professional audio equipment with dual XLR inputs (mixers, speakers). Its key benefit is providing a clean, noise-free signal thanks to shielding and oxygen-free copper. A potential caveat is its unbalanced connection, which may not be suitable for all high-end professional audio setups requiring a balanced signal.

This cable is an unbalanced connection. While it uses XLR connectors, Pin 3 on both XLR connectors is wired to ground to help reduce interference and noise, which is typical for unbalanced stereo-to-dual-mono applications.
No, this cable is designed to split a stereo 3.5mm output into two separate mono unbalanced inputs. It is not intended for connecting stereo microphones.
OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper. It signifies that the copper used in the cable's conductor has a very low oxygen content, which helps to improve signal conductivity and reduce signal degradation over distance.
Typically, the red XLR connector is intended for the right audio channel, and the black connector is for the left audio channel. However, always confirm by checking the labels on your mixer or speaker, as configurations can vary.
This specific model is 1 meter in length.
Yes, you can use this cable with a mono 3.5mm output. Both XLR connectors will carry the same mono signal, effectively splitting it to two inputs.
The cable is designed to maintain a clean signal path with minimal noise and interference due to its shielding and OFC construction, which can lead to improved perceived sound quality compared to unshielded or lower-quality cables.
Check that the 3.5mm plug is fully inserted into the source device. Verify that the correct XLR inputs are used on the destination equipment. Ensure the cable is not damaged by inspecting it for visible wear. Test with different source or destination devices if possible.
Ensure the 3.5mm plug is fully seated. Grounding of XLR Pin 3 is intended to reduce interference, but double-check that the destination equipment is properly grounded. Try connecting in a different location to rule out environmental electrical interference. Ensure the cable is not running parallel to power cables.
Check the volume levels on both the source device and the destination equipment. Ensure the cable is plugged into line-level inputs, not microphone inputs, on the destination device unless specifically intended. Verify the correct channel assignment (red/black XLR).
