Product Information

Full details

This PULSE XLR to Phono Lead (6M) is designed for audio professionals and enthusiasts needing to connect devices with XLR outputs to systems with RCA/Phono inputs. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable, shielded connection for audio signals over a 6-meter length. A minor consideration is that PVC insulation, while durable, may be less flexible in extreme cold than other materials.

FAQs

What is the primary function of this cable?

This cable connects audio devices with XLR outputs (like mixers) to devices with RCA/Phono inputs (like amplifiers) for analog audio transmission.

What is the cable length in feet?

The cable length is 6 meters, which is approximately 19.68 feet.

Can this cable be used for digital audio signals?

No, this cable is designed specifically for analog audio signals and cannot transmit digital audio.

Is this cable shielded?

Yes, the cable features shielding to help reduce unwanted noise and interference.

How do I connect it for stereo sound?

Connect the left channel XLR output to the left channel RCA input, and the right channel XLR output to the right channel RCA input. The color-coded plugs (usually red for right, white or black for left) will help identify the channels.

What is the insulation material?

The cable features PVC insulation for durability.

Does it come in other lengths?

Yes, PULSE offers this type of lead in other lengths, such as 1.5m and 0.3m.

Troubleshooting

No audio output from one or both channels

Ensure the XLR and RCA connectors are fully inserted into their respective ports. Verify that the source device's output and the destination device's input are correctly selected and functioning. Check if the cable is damaged by testing with another known working cable.

Humming or buzzing noise

Ensure the cable is properly seated. Try connecting the cable to different outlets to rule out ground loop issues. If possible, test the connection in a different location to check for environmental interference. Ensure the source and destination devices are properly grounded.

Audio quality is poor or distorted

Check all connections for a secure fit. Ensure the audio source is not clipping or sending a signal that is too hot for the destination device's input. If the cable has been stored in cold conditions, allow it to warm up to room temperature before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a solid connection between XLR and Phono/RCA audio sources.
  • The 6-meter length is suitable for many common audio setups.
  • Shielding helps reduce unwanted noise and interference.
  • Durable construction for regular use.
  • Color-coded connectors simplify setup for stereo audio.

Cons

  • PVC insulation might become less flexible in very cold environments.
  • Not suitable for digital audio transmission, only analog.
  • Limited to audio applications; not for video signals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the two XLR plugs to the output ports of your audio source (e.g., mixer, microphone preamplifier). Connect the two RCA/Phono plugs to the input ports of your audio destination (e.g., amplifier, soundbar, powered speakers). Ensure the correct plugs are connected to the corresponding L/R (left/right) channels if using stereo.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for analog audio signals. It is compatible with devices featuring male XLR outputs and RCA/Phono inputs. It is not designed for digital audio signals (like S/PDIF) or video signals.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, avoid kinking the cable excessively. Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use. Clean the connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to ensure a clean connection. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture. Do not pull on the cable itself when disconnecting; grip the connector bodies.
